Do you physically meet them at all, ever?

Short of physically visiting the property and talking to people, there's not much else you can do.

Interested to see how other investors are mentally and physically preparing for a reversal of 1031 exchanges.

A while ago I saw a post here teaching landlords how to avoid liability by setting up a company/ the property owner in another state, so the tenant cannot sue the property owner in the state where the rental property is physically located but in the state where the company/ property owner is filed.Can someone provide more detail about how this works?

Of course if values are moving up that quickly, it may still be a fair price even with less square feet.I would never buy a property without being able to physically step foot inside and "inspect".

That said, there are local courts that will not preform and eviction or sign a writ of eviction so after you win in court you need to check with your local bailiff's, sheriffs etc...however you do them locally in case you need to physically remove someone. 

Talked with them today explained situation and is going to move in the physical home not camper.

There has been only one time where my physically visiting the place added much value. 

All properties sold in Ohio are stated in "as is condition" - that means you are taking it in its current physical form/condition.

I then translated this tenant pool's needs and wants into physical property characteristics.
