"How" do you flip remotely?

[Ronnie C.]

As a long time investor and builder of new construction, I'm curious about these so called remote flippers? I see Youtube videos titled "How to flip remotely" but they never tell you "how they are doing it" Some claim they never see the properties other than pictures. 

Does anyone have experience with this that can lay out a proven strategy that you are using?

I for one have trust issues, and before I pay a trade I've got to see the work and know that it was done right. Usually I'm around looking over their shoulder while they are doing it. 

I can't imagine hiring a GC 1,200 miles away to manage the project and to oversee all the trades as that is really going to eat into profit with basically none left. I can't imaging trying to hire the trades and them sending me pictures cause they'd not video or photo something that's an issue that would come back on me in the end. 

Any help would be appreciated. I've got to get out of my dead area and start finding deals and making things happen. I can't leave my elderly mother for weeks at a time. She really depends on me. 

Thanks
