DO YOU MAKE HOUSE CALLS????

I sure do and I hope you do too! We spend more and more time STUCK to our computers as we look for and evaluate offers and data. It is no wonder that REI is overrun with ANALYSTS!! The internet is the worlds largest library right at our fingertips. It is easy to dig and dig and get sidetracked. I may look at 50 properties a day on-line, but there is nothing about getting off my rear end and going out to actually look at a real live property. I see the neighborhood, the street, the landscaping. Do yourself a favor and go out and look at a few homes today. Remember, you really won't KNOW your marketplace until you view many, many properties. You will see trends, similarities, common ailments or benefits to your areas.
PROPERTY ACQUISITION IS A SCIENCE!!!
If you are uncomfortable looking at and evaluating deals you will have to over come and take action. Attend an investor meeting, talk with real investors that have a track record, contractors, lenders, get out there and NETWORK. Concentrate your studies on the ACQUISITION side of REI. After all, no deal no money in your pocket, PERIOD!!

Good luck to all, now go make an intelligent offer!!
