Its a personal favorite visual.

We live in such a visual world.

I saw the sticky on top of the page however, I would like to ask if anyone knows of or can share their business plan for a visual reference; I'm kind of lost and confused on how to start one and can't get the right idea...

Checking the minutes is a good start but the absence of issues ini the minutes does not mean there are no deferred maintenance issues.John CoreyI would guess that an outsider would not be permitted to inspect the common areas, except visually.

You should get to the point that when someone calls offering a property in your target area, you can visualize the street and you KNOW the value of houses on that street.
