Service to research properties out of your area...

Okay as we are going through investing and developing strategies, sometimes we come across tools that simplify a process we are going through.
When you are looking at properties out of your area, getting eyes on the property is a reassuring thing. There are some you may sight unseen because of the price you can get them for.
For the properties you cannot not there are some methods that you can go through.
Craigslist.org
Under the services section and then under Real Estate you can find property managers and bird dogs that might be wiling to go look at the property. This can be great, but does not give you all the information you want to evaluate the deal.
As a investor, if I come across a new tool, first thing I will do is make it it works. Test it, try and break it, and then refer others that I know will do the same. After that I will then share it with those I know can benefit from the tool.
As with anything, do your own do diligence. Look at what they can provide and see if it is of use to you.
This is called a Property Snapshot Report and here is the link to view their services...
