For those who self manage, how often do you go to the property? It’s always a nerve racking thing for me when I go, as you never know what you are going to find. Just looking for some opinions.

My suggestion is always to visit as many open houses and/or listed properties in the are of your flip as possible.

First off, not sure if I have a deal, but if I deal could be made the 2 old ladies who are the owners would only make it with me because I have taken my time over the last 4 months to get to know them, met their families, went to visit them at an old people's home, etc.

I would like to be able to invite family over to visit and want an outdoor area where i can barbecue and where my girls can play outside.

All my family is still down there and I visit a few times a year.

Get on an airplane and go visit and meet them3.

This is a comment from someone who actually lives here and has actually visited this property.I visited this property yesterday.

Would always engage a PM on the first "informal" visit to the property to have additional pair of expert eyes with me. 

Personally, if I were going to buy a property on Roofstock, I would also take the time to visit it in person.2) other crowdfunding sites: I'm guessing you are nonaccredited ... is that right?

Call her, talk to her, ask what price she has in mind, and if she'll allow you, visit the house.
