Is flying out to meet a property manager vital?

[Ryan McGlasson]

Quick question I was thinking to myself but I really wanted others opinions on the matter. 

Currently I am team building out of state in the market I am planning to invest in, I know of course flying out to meet brokers is a must but, is this also true for property managers? Not entirely sure if flying out specifically for property managers would be too much assuming one can successfully interview management firms over the phone with a call or two rather than needing to in person.  

Is it wise to fly out to meet with potential property managers for just as you would to meet with brokers? Or phone interview them and meet with the one you have chosen when you're in the area?

Thanks in advance everyone!
