What better day to look at real estate than after getting 3 inches of TS Ida poured on you? If I would have watched the weather and NOT have wore a suit, I would have previewed more properties today.
Tip# 341. GO look at potential properties when it rains. Don't ask questions (yet). Just do it. Rain can tell a HUGE story. Same way it did to Noah.
It amplifies any run-off or foundation issues. It amplifies the angle of pitch surrounding the foundation (landscape). It amplifies any roof leaks on the interior. It amplifies your ability to make an informed decision on if the investment can MAKE YOU $$$. See, this isn't rocket-science. It's taking what mother nature gives you and using it to your advantage. Thank you Mother N.
Guys, taking the extra step will put you ahead of 90% of investors in real estate. Reading books are great. Really. Great. But out of ALL of the investment books I've been through (and I like A. Montelongo) none have never mentioned ANYTHING about checking a property during or immediately after rain/storms. Why not? It's free. It cost you nothing but a little time to make a very informed decision. Did I mention it's free?
I know. You are looking for a quick hit homerun. We'll get there. Let's set the base first. You gotta touch four in baseball before you even score!
I will introduce a property soon. We are currently working on it and I am trying to come up with the best way to share it with you. I want to make it elementary for you WHEN most try and make it seem you need a PH.D. You don't. I don't.
Do not hesitate to ask questions. Bring them ALL on. ALL. Have a great evening. We'll have this train moving soon!

We had a first hand experience at Ida's and the new "massive-historic" coastal storm winds and rain this evening. Few pieces of siding missing. Other than that, everything else went fine. The roof does its job and the irrigation around the house centeralizes in the state owned "ditches." Needless to say, they serve their purposes as well. Definitely a good investment on the owners behalf...could use a few upgrades though.
