I was typing this out from my profile page.

Ultimately I think the main focus of the visit is to familiarize yourself with the property (since you have not seen it in person yet) and check on the rehab work and meet your contractor and PM. 

But I'm also going to visit the other resources you mentioned. 

Also, fly out to visit the market, tour properties, and understand the local landscape before committing.Indianapolis offers a mix of opportunities for cash flow and appreciation, so defining your investment goals is key.

My father in law lives in hot spring and we go visit him once or twice a year.

No question it's overbuilt nationwide, even though I personally love wine and visiting wineries.

There are thousands of pages on consumer protection laws and regulations that depending how you go about doing a subject to could be against these laws and regulations. so like most things - is itillegal - it depends.  

Go check the BBB page for Auction King.

I don't live in Richmond, but I'm very familiar and visit quite often.
