I ran outside in pouring rain and saw their car (I knew they had a BMW) and was in front of them waving my arms.

Car broke down?

Purchase price: $147,000 Cash invested: $80,000 SFH, 4/2, 2351 sq feet, 2 car garage, 1.5 acres What made you interested in investing in this type of deal?

You'll need to speak with a lot of sellers to get a deal, and it isn't the best use of your time to jump in your car to see a property when the seller may not be motivated.

I have a 5 bedroom single family but luckily the driveway can fit 5 cars.

Our tenants are mostly young professionals and many don’t have cars.

The driveway is about 5-6 car lengths long so its quite big, I figured this would be a good way to get tenants in and try to avoid slips and falls.

We have three relatives visit us every year and I can see a substantial increase in our water and sewage bill even thought they only stay with use for a week or two due to the extra baths, cooking and toilet use.Washing cars or neighbors stealing water from a faucet can also be a problem in certain areas.If you can find a good time to check then check the meter on the street, make sure there is no water running in the unit and that no one will turn on or flush anything at all, let it sit 30 minutes or so and see if the meter goes up which would indicate a leak somewhere.The tenant may also be able to call the water company and plead their case (Not blaming you) that there was a leak that was out of their control and that they didn't realize it soon enough and see if they will give them a break on the bill, it depends on the water company but I have seen the water companies in my area give a break on the bill for certain circumstances.

What I am really after are the look alike audiences and putting the Facebook data engine to work for me. 

I was wondering if anyone could recommend an engineer to do a site survey.
