I love tools. We should all love tools. Especially tools that make our work day easier. Digital Laser Rangefinders are one such tool I cannot live without. Whether I am out with a client looking through a house or checking out a house on my own that I want to buy, I always carry one of these rangefinders with me.

You can easily verify square footage in a room or throughout the whole property. The one on the left is the one I own. It is a Bosch Digital Laser Rangefinder. There are other options out there. Find the one that is right for you. My Bosch has the following features:

* Precision Laser Measuring Technology. Laser beam does both pointing and measuring

* Pocket-Sized Only 4-Inch tall

* Four Measuring Reference Points: Back, front, swingout extension pin for measuring from inside corners or channels, or center of optional tripod

* Three Measurement Systems: Feet and inches, decimal feet, and metric

* Length, Area and Volume Measuring Capability

Here is some information from Amazon on the Bosch. You can also read some reviews at the bottom. Regardless of which one you use, get one. You will not regret it and I bet you find you can’t live without it in you daily work. Remember to work smarter not harder at real estate investing. Less time doing tasks that can be done quickly can mean more money in your pocket.
