You do not own the building, so no choice but to have the inspection. 

Your investment properties are in jeopardy.People constantly create these fear-mongering hypotheticals: "What if you fall asleep at the wheel of a bulldozer and run over a family of sixteen watching Home Alone 3 in their den?"

Regarding remote activation, my advice is first time you do this, make yourself a folder, save all the channels there, make sure you are sharing your folders via your browser of choice for easy access on the goGood Luck

That said, it could be a good choice if you’re capital constrained and need to recycle equity from deal to deal.However, if you have capital to deploy and want to take a more hands-off approach, targeting a turnkey, rent-ready offering could be a better approach for your first deal.Full disclosure: I own rentals and operate a turnkey provider in Tuscaloosa—let me know if there are any questions I can answer for you!

The choice between the two would be up to your investing goals and what you are wanting to do with the property.  

You have found a market out-of-state and have talked to an investor-friendly Realtor you met on Facebook that seems to check a lot of boxes for you and your goals.You worry about making a good choice and how to complete your due diligence on this agent and opportunity.All of my out-of-state buyers buy without ever having seen the property in person but I know they will at some point and want them to have a good experience so I frequently do FaceTime walkthroughs with them before buying and use a very comprehensive property inspector to avoid surprises.

I didn't do anything wrong to try and get $27,000 owed to me by the stupid eviction moratorium and now will have to choice but to pursue small claims court.1) I applied to San Diego Covid Rental Assistance on behalf on my tenant (appeal by tenant got rejected; not sure what the tenant did or did not do since I can't control her actions and this program only she can appeal and try to get aid, I can only start the process and try and get her to cooperate)2) I also applied to San Diego Small Landlord Rental Assistance on my own (got rejected because I no longer reside in San Diego)Both got rejected.

Great choice on using your equity to gain wealth!

Tagging people who have no choice but to believe there is a light at the end of the tunnel is not persuasive.
