Purchasing Properties from a Distance
Hello all, I'm needing to know if properties can be purchased from afar? I'm living in Abu Dhabi, UAE and properties are in Texas (where I'm from). I have someone in the area for helping with inspections. Thanks.
Matt,

I highly suggest reading David Greene's book below. Its a non-rhetoric meat and bones bundle of info.
If you're referring to legally....I would think you wouldn't have an issue. Either remote closing, or a local representative to sign for you.
Best of luck!
