Question for long-distance STR investors ...

[Sean Bramble]

Hey everyone - I'm looking for my first STR property and am considering expanding my search to include multiple long distance markets since my home market is super slow right now (upstate NY). I have a question about if and when you actually travel to go see properties you're interested in ... seems like it would be a huge waste of time and money to travel cross-country to see a property before your offer is actually accepted

Question for those of you doing long-distance investing: do you wait to visit properties you're interested in until after your offer has been accepted? And then if something is majorly wrong find a way to get out of the deal during the inspection period? Any advice would be really helpful ... trying to widen my lead funnel as much as possible
