Driving for dollars, what's important?
My wife and I have spent hours driving for dollars over the past few weeks in Jacksonville Florida and we are in the process of organizing the list in excel. My question is, what is important to include on the list. So far we have the following;
- address
- last sold (looking for equity)
- owner occupied?
- property characteristics ( bed/bath, sq. Ft., etc.)
- average property value in area
- market rent
- type of distress
Is this too detailed, not enough, what are we missing?
Thanks!

Great job taking the time to drive for $$$. Don't over complicate it getting started. You need owner name, property address, and mailing address. Send everyone a post card or letter and get all the other info after they call. Say you have 400 houses you found- that's a lot of work getting the info for your excel when 380 will never contact you. You could have a forth column about condition of the house. That way after you mail, you could focus on going after the ones that are 100% vacant first.
