Here's how I do my due diligence:1) Portfolio matching: (takes 30 seconds per deal)a) Have an educated opinion on where you think we are in the real estate cycles (financial and physical market cycles)b) Then only then pick the strategies, capital stack, and specialized asset subclasses that make sense for that opinion.

I have ready that it may be possible to get the docs and pre-sign them in advance but my mortgage broker says it's not possible, though I don't think he has ever done a remote closing before and may not know.We did check already and it's fine that I can't be at closing physically, its just this signature/notary same day issue.

I will certainly exercise a few of those methods and continue to stay patient. 

Don't wait for a realtor to find you a deal, it won't happen physically or value wise.Do a store front or service front, and a rental unit in back. 

Your REI investment style at some point has to become more entrepreneur and less physical rehabber.3.
