I'm not huge book reader but I learn better with visual (Google slides or video) and a presentation.

While the site isn’t as visually appealing or interactive as others, it provides a treasure trove of data, including crime indices based on FBI reports.

Wholesaling: The Real Pros and ConsFix and Flip: ProsLarger profit per deal (in theory)Visual satisfaction (before & after transformations are fun)Easier to explain ("I flip houses" is a cool elevator pitch)Builds a public reputation (if you do it consistently and well)Fix and Flip: ConsCash-heavy and risky (need capital for down payments, rehab, permits)Slow cash cycle (90–180+ days to get paid)Unscalable without a large teamMarket fluctuations can crush your profits (remember 2022?)

It's a good way to visualize perfomance and with the correct data sourcing we could analyze competitors or other portfolios with each other.

I try to show people visually what their "buy box" looks like - sometimes they change their buy box when they see what they can afford ;-) good luck!

For example my project was condemned for a widening project, my client countered with not only the value of the land but the cost associated with redesigning his entitled project, the additional cost of construction for deeper subterranean parking to achieve the same unit count and the negative visual impact to his project being closer to the road which he should be paid for. 

No soul.And then we wonder why it doesn’t book.The brutal truth:In 2025, the game isn’t about having a property.It’s about selling an experience—visually, emotionally, and strategically.People don’t buy beds.They buy sunsets.They buy vibes.They buy the feeling of waking up barefoot, opening the window, and seeing nothing but jungle or ocean. 

Home inspections are limited, they are just basic visual inspections and don’t guarantee that every last defect will be uncovered, and the inspector is only liable up to the cost of the inspection.

To my fellow realtors - when you're showing a home that needs renovations or even on a listing appointment how do you usually handle those conversations about accurate cost and/or visualizations?

Started transplanting trees along side of old farmhouse for visual break.
