So, it makes financial sense for me to indulge these requests.However, I need to prioritize my time, as efficiently as possible.

Using Google Maps, Google Earth or any other version or combination of versions of free software out there, how can someone create a professional-looking site map to be used as a marketing exhibit showing a site:1) with the 1-3-5 miles rings around it, and2) showing the company logos of nearby, nationally recognized companies by importing said logos into the map and pasting them on top of the locations of those businesses, and3) inserting text blocks where, for instance, one could depict traffic counts of the frontage road by inserting the text block with the desired text into the map and pasting it on top of the road(s).Again, I want to do this all quickly, efficiently, professionally and for free.Can anyone suggest a process or software or make any recommendations?

It is more time efficient to do everything at one time.

I don't necessarily try to be the absolute most efficient, with setting up a schedule and a budget and a dead-line and all of that.

Communication with the lender prior to purchase is very important.

But here's the problem: they all concern historical buildings (I invest in Europe, ancient cities like Maastricht and Liège).These will require a lot of renovations to get them up to speed with the new EU energy-efficient requirements and such.

Looking to maximize IT to aid me in becoming more efficient in moving in on real estate deals, and my experience in construction to give me a leg up in making flips profitable.

Your english is better than my German, but we have a failure to communicate with this post

Put another way, I don't think the economies of scale for a larger investor can add enough efficiency/savings for the larger investors to displace the irrational investors they are competing with--even over a short term (such as 3-5 years).

- With the HVAC -- is it a 1.5 ton low-efficiency system or a 4.5 ton high-efficiency system?
