Buying properties site unseen

Hey guys, I'm wondering who out there has purchased a property site unseen? Maybe you saw photos, but you (or one of your representatives) never actually saw the property in person. 

-what made you feel comfortable buying that way, and how did you make that decision?

-when would you not buy a property site-unseen?

-what could a seller/wholesaler provide you with to give you the confidence to purchase site-unseen?

I'm curious to know what people's reasons are for when they will agree to purchase site-unseen vs. when they won't buy unless they see it (let's assume that in either scenario there were comprehensive photos and property details provided). I've had buyers purchase site unseen from me before, and with COVID-19 I'm trying to think of ways that I can better present my deals so that buyers feel confident about purchasing without needing to see it in person.
