Collecting the keys remotely
How do you collect the keys from a homeowner remotely? To take pictures, put a lockbox if needed, etc

Are you buying this or wholesaling? If you have a realtor in the area you have a relationship with, see if they can help you out. Options:
1. Send a lockbox to the house and have the homeowner attach with keys and also send them a list of pictures you want and have them take them for you.
2. find someone in the local facebook groups to be boots on the ground for you and go put up the lockbox and take pictures.
