How to find a turn key property as a remote investor?

[Jason Lam]

Hi first post here on Bigger Pockets. I’m sorry if this is the wrong sub-forum, I didn’t see a good spot for this question.

I live out of the US for work so I can’t travel back as frequently to view potential properties. How have some of you other remote investors found properties?

When I posted this question on Reddit I got quite a few investors looking to sell me turn key properties. My question is for the investors who buy without seeing the property, how do you know the home is good? Do you just call up local inspectors to tour and send detailed descriptions?

Based on my need to be remote the two options I see are either buying full turnkey or partnering with a house flipper who can rehab.

Any help on the best thing to do for remote investors would be great.
