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

Prices a few years ago were based on expectations of (in addition to interest rates staying low): - Then current operating cost assumptions (like insurance cost expectations being flat)- A seeming disregard for record levels of new inventory / supply hitting the market- Extremely high inbound migration expectations which are likely to not be met, due to both natural disasters and the boomerang effect when people from California or the Northeast move to the American South and hate every minute of the humidity, the large and relentless swarm of insects, and the occasional hurricane. 

Would love to connect on a call and hear more about the process.   

I like a navy, darker blue, charcoal or Teal but it really depends a lot on lighting, natural light and how big the kitchen is.   

I would love to hear how you all approach this process.
