Investing in out of state rental properties

[Maurice Blackledge]

Is it best to always see a property before investing if it's out of state?

Actually seeing it yourself is not that important.  I own a triplex 30 minutes from my home and I have never actually seen it. I looked at it online, sent out my inspector who noted a possible plumbing problem.  I sent my plumber and he said it was fine.  I bought the triplex and it is under property management.  June was a year and it has been amazingly profitable, I clear 1k a month after expenses.
