Long distance real estate without the visit

[Jennifer Roberts]

Hello all, I'm currently doing a 1031. I have approximately 55 days to purchase. I'm selling California real estate and the prices of course are high, and I'm moving to a more stable market. I've decided to purchase near military bases in an area that has good wages/price/rent ratio. Possibly an airbnb as well. With that said, time is of the essence. Even though I've read "the books" and am in contact with trusted real estate agents, wondering what your thoughts are, if you are an experienced long distance real estate investor that buys sight unseen. Any info is greatly appreciated!
