I thought it would be interesting to see what other creative suggestions this community has for out-of-state investors that can’t visit properties in-person to make sure they have an accurate picture of the property they are buying.

We had friends that had a cabin in the community and we visited.

For apartment rental once I place good tenant sometime I don’t have to visit property for years

Also, when going to visit other property to check them out, what mostly are you guys looking for?

My wife and I both work remotely from Central Valley CA and would like to visit family in SoCal on a regular basis and an STR would be wonderful to stay in that we also own. 

The following is just my opinion, just giving you my personal outlook.For example, I last visited Playa Del Carmen in Mexico with the family approx 2 1/2 years ago and we had an amazing time.

I own a condo in Bangkok outright and I'm looking to start investing in property in the US.I have money lined up and happy for my first purchase to be a cash purchase and then I'll look to try and build up credit and hopefully secure finance for future purchases.Due to travel restrictions, it's unlikely I'll be able to visit the US until March 2022.My question, is it better to get the ball rolling and purchase a property now (I have spoken to a couple of Turnkey companies) or is it better to save for a few more months and then purchase something in March 2022.Many thanksPaul

The population has been growing here year over year over the last decade, it is home to The Ohio State University which has over 50,000 students that live here along with those that visit, and it also holds a diverse range of young professionals and traveling nurses to fill the demand of the multiple business corporations and hospitals stationed here.

I bought my first STR last year in New Hampshire with the strategy of purchasing homes that I can occasionally use in locales that I like to visit with my family.
