Do not cut any corners on a prospective deal to make it look better.Always do the math analysis and try to look at the prospective property before you submit an offer or at least have a clause in the sales contract that allows you some time (about 10 days) to make a detailed inspection without having a penalty that will hurt you too much.

Isn't this part of evaluating the comparable sales? 

Visit the complexes, look at units offered for sale and meet the people that live there. 

I would like to repeat this, but this time sale the property.
