Is it possible to do a successful flip remotely?

Can you ? Of course. Will you be successful? The odds are against you as you are 100% at the mercy of your “team”
Do I flip remotely? Yes many of my flips can be 6+ hours away from where I live. However:
-I have 25+ years of experience. My contractor can call me and I have knowledge of any issues and the experience to find a solution
- I am the one who finds the deals and views each property prior to purchasing. I take 100s of pictures and videos that I can refer to later
I cannot stress more the need to get a few flips under your belt locally so you go thru the process and experience the trial and error. This will help you have a working knowledge of the process and enable you to not be 100% dependent on your team
