Buying house unseen?

[Elena Nelson]

My question is should I physically be at the home inspection or is virtual ok? Has anyone bought property without physically seeing it? I have yet to see the property, I did a virtual tour with my realtor before I made an offer. It's in a college town about three hours away, not terrible. It's in a great location and is rented until August 2021. I plan on going to the property in between tenants to get it ready, take pictures, get it cleaned, etc this August when tenants change. Thanks for any opinions or experience! :)
