Help resolve a conflict

In the near future, I'm looking to purchase a home out of state. Now I know this is David Green expertise. In his book he roughly says, you don't need to go physically look at a property with untrained eyes if your investing out of state. Yet many people on the BP Podcast states, go to the  city, look around, get a feel for the people, vibe and properties. 

This will be my second home purchase, yet my first out of state.  Which would you suggest?  To view or not to physically view the property, that is the question lol.

Thank you,

Sandra

If you are an established company with 50+ properties and an trusted people on the ground to look for you, I would not travel.

If I were you, my butt would be in a car/plane/train/horse.
