Quote from @Matt Wan: Can I purchase a property using a traditional mortgage without being physically present for any part of the process?

My friend and I are planning to buy an investment property (My second his first). It would be his primary residence so most likely a duplex or triplex house hack. We are running into a roadblock of him getting approve...

I would also be keeping a log of any incidents that give rise to new custody issues.

This way if there’s physical damage by residents the company pays the first $500 to fix it.

Them physically moving out doesn't end the lease.

I'm specifically searching for an agent who:Has experience working with foreign investors (I’m not based in the US).Has been involved in buy-and-hold projects with investors multiple times.Can provide an approximate rehab cost by looking at pictures and is familiar with rehabs.Is willing to visit properties physically (I won’t ask you to check out too many).Has connections with wholesalers (a plus but not a dealbreaker).If this sounds like you—or if you know someone who fits the description—please reach out OR leave a message in I will get back to you. 

I know what my ideal life looks like in ten years, unfortunately, I don’t feel like I can have my ideal life now because I am having to stay in the state that I am in until we can move without risk of my husband losing custody of his child, which will be in about 10 years so believe it or not I do spend a lot of time thinking about what I want the future to be like.

Also, the other custodial vultures are circling.

Have you guys ever purchased a property without physically seeing it?

While algorithms can analyze data at scale, real estate isn’t just about numbers—it’s about nuances and the most important component of real estate is understanding its value, and that to me (maybe I am old school) but can only be done by physically visiting and walking the property.So for me, factors like local market conditions, property inspections, and borrower credibility can’t be fully captured in a formula.
