What prospecting tools do you carry?

[Stan Jackson]

So, what are some of your prospecting tools, equipment and unique items do you carry in your vehicle? I find every day my truck is getting pack more and more with stuff.

For instance:

Standards-
A ladder so I can quickly look into the attic area.
Small tool box with standard wrenches, pliers, screwdriver etc
Regular 30’ tape measure and electronic tape measure
Briefcase with contract, MLS sheets
Lock boxes
Door knobs

Slightly Unusual-
Compass, believe it or not
Bolt cutters
Mounted laptop to access the internet for on the spot research

Soon, I will be using my box truck as my pov, that way I can immediately board up the property when I have a contract on it.

I find a camera to be a very useful tool. Tons of pictures make for a good reminder after you've been through a dozen houses in one day. I always take a picture of the house number first so I can more easily organize the pictures into a folder for each house.
