Plenty of people invest remotely, and as long as you have modest expectations (not chasing the highest possible yield), and are using light leverage, and don't get suckered into buying in a part of town that you wouldn't feel comfortable visiting in broad daylight, plenty of people do this and do... fine.

Now they’re not just selling a property—they’re getting a custom solution that benefits them without the headache of trying to squeeze top dollar out of a market that won’t finance it.Now, the structure:You operate on today’s valuation ($448K).They get a down payment that works for you and satisfies their need for cash now.You carry the property, increase rents, and refi in 2-3 years at $700K+.At refi, they get a kicker—a share of the upside—making them feel like they got the better deal.Why does this work?

Personally I wouldn't feel comfortable trying to wholesale a relatives $1M home knowing that I am breaking the law if I cross over into doing anything that can be considered representing them in the transaction, and knowing it will only be marketed to people who buy properties wholesale (typically investors who don't want to pay retail prices), instead of the majority of retail buyers active in the market who are typcially willing to pay more.
