I usually do a video walk through of the home and upload it to Youtube so they can see most of what I can see.  

I belong to a Mastermind group, we meet twice a year in person for 3 days at a resort away from distractions.We also have a weekly scheduled phone call with one mastermind partner.I would like to start a virtual mastermind group & have regular online video conferences & utilized some of latest cool apps & technology. smiletime.com is a pretty cool free site for this.

It's non stop education that you can't learn from YouTube videos and the mentors are actually there to help you (volunteers, not getting paid).

Also I will be purchasing these properties remotely (from my location) relying solely on pictures and videos.

I have read books, watched videos, attended webinars and so forth.
