I can view stats about cost of the place, how much it rents for, etc., but I can't see inside the place, what it looks like, what the renovation quality is like, etc.I'm a bit afraid of just committing to a purchase without seeing it myself, and from what I understand many of these turnkey units sell immediately after being listed, so timing is sort of important.Initially, I thought I'd ask my family who lives in the area to go check the places out for me, then make a purchasing decision, do inspections, etc.

Just make sure that you screen her thoroughly (i.e. credit, criminal and evictions history) so that you don't end up with someone who doesn't pay or pays late every month. 

Raise your screening criteria to weed out the bad apples in the future.

Simple things like a professional website, ability to take payments online, a real tenant application/screening process, maintenance tracking, after hours call system, financial reporting, etc. 

As condos being my only option right now, what are your views on forced appreciation on a 1b/1ba or 2b/1ba?

I will also be very clear with my property manager about tenant screening (prior evictions, criminal records, etc.).
