If you do wholesale outside your market, how do you get a good estimate of the work required if you are not physically seeing the property?

It's important to note that market income can be used on purchases even the unit is not physically occupied.  

Finally, I do like to physically visit the market, meet the seller and property manager, and see some of their properties.

Then, look at the physical plant. 

I've been reading and listening to BP and I'm itching to physically get out there.

Having language in your lease which requires the tenant to do physical work on common areas can infer a type of employment status in the eyes of the insurance company and they could deny your claim if something happened depending upon the language of your insurance policy.In conclusion: If it's a single family home that you are renting out, I have seen many landlords in Rochester, NY require the tenant to take care of lawn maintenance and snow removal. 

Do as little physical work on your property as you can.Do not try to do everything yourself.
