Out of country

[DJuan Brown]

First, I like to thank everyone that responded to my introduction post. My question is "Is it possible to be involved in real estate and make deals without ever seeing the property or area?" I am currently out of the country for a period of time and was trying to get started in real estate before I left, but I am unsure if it is even possible without being in the area. I still have a few months before I return. Would it be better to research and learn as much as I can or try to get involved now? And if I get involved now, how would I go about it? Thank you for any advice given.
