Seller Accepted My Offer...Now What?

[Reese Davis]

I found a property on Craigslist this morning, contacted the seller, made him an offer and he accepted. The property is located about 3 - 4 hours from me so unless it's absolutely necessary, I would like to get it under contract without physically seeing it. The pictures look good and after doing some research, it seems like a pretty good deal. I guess my question is what should I do next?? My thoughts were to get the contract signed and then post the property on here in the Investor Marketplace. Is that the right move? This is my first potential deal and I really don't wanna mess it up. All help is greatly appreciated. Oh, one more question...how does the closing work when the buyer and seller are not located in the same area? Would I go to him? Does he come to me? Or can everything be done through email and fax?
