Buying a duplex sight unseen (interior)

[David P.]

I was looking into buying a duplex sight unseen interior due to tenants not wanting to be bothered. I do have an inspection report already that shows some pictures of the interior but thats about all i have to go off.  The the last duplex i purchased i did not mind because the property was built new in 2008 and was fairly new. The property Im looking at is built in 1993 but one particular unit has a hoarder tenant who lived there 10 years and base on the pictures looks like the property is left in shambles in the inside. I don't think she ever had anything repaired and I even see significant amount of black mold growing under the kitchen sink. Nevertheless the property does have good bones and I still like to make an offer on it if the price is right. My question is...do you feel comfortable purchasing a property that you can not enter yourself and just have go off inspection reports? It seems like this is fairly standard nowadays with properties that are tenant occupied.
