Hi. I’m currently in search of a good house in my area and have been visiting some of them already. It seems that it will be a long journey and I will be maybe seeing 30-40 houses, maybe even more. As I walk in and around the houses, I take notes and pictures and thinking to make an excel file, however storing pictures in excel cells would probably be little unusable. Is there any simple tool that I can use and I can create comparable fields with possibility to attach pictures and pdf files etc? Thank you.

Hint: don’t bother. You really aren’t going to remember more than 3 properties. Just keep track of your top 3. Usually on an extended house hunt you spend less and less time after the first few. Often we walk in or just drive up and it’s an instant no. You quickly narrow down to the ones you want.

Second hint: the internet is great for pre screening (getting rid) of choices. But many issues such as big layout issues, a smoker or vapor or pothead lived in the house, or any negative detail they don’t want to advertise can only be found by inspecting the house.
