Locking Up a Property Sight Unseen—Need Advice

I’m looking at a property that checks all the boxes—good numbers and fits my buy box—but I haven’t seen it in person. I’ve visited every other property I’ve considered in the past, so this is uncharted territory for me, and it feels a little out of my comfort zone.

I’m considering putting it under contract sight unseen to lock it up, but I don’t want to make a rookie mistake here.

I'm looking for some advice here. Do you rely on inspections, local contractors, the agent, or property managers to get eyes on it?

I feel like there’s a balance between being decisive and being reckless, and I’d love to hear how you guys approach this. Any tips, warnings, or real-life lessons are welcome!
