Driving for Dollars Questions
Hey BP,
1) When is safest time to drive for dollars. I do it alone and driving in war zone areas sometimes.
2) Best way to log your driving for dollars houses?
3) How many houses is a good amount to get in one day? (vacant ones)
Thanks in advance!

I have found the best/easiest time is Saturday mornings between 9am and 11am. Traffic is light, and for the most part people that work weekends will be at work and people that are off/don't work will still be in bed/inside. My husband drives me and I can jot down addresses and notes without having to pull over.
Being female I avoid going into C or D neighborhoods alone. But I drive for dollars whenever I can. When my husband isn't driving I use my phone to take notes by using the "talk to text" feature so I don't have to take my eyes off the road or slow down to write in my notebook. Google will take notes and send them directly to my email.
Depending on the area, I get 20-50 houses per trip before my husband gets tired of driving. I take note of abandoned houses, code violations, and houses that look run down/neglected enough to "stick out" from the surrounding homes.
