I hate paper, so I always push for an electronic version of anything that would need to go to a physical address.  

Proximity to work, habit, family, etc.  

Or go 50/50 on something at Myrtle Beach or close proximity ....

I'm not sure if me actually seeing the property holds much value if I'm getting a professional inspector and an appraisal, but I can't help but get a sense of paranoia being that I won't physically see it and that I'd have to trust someone else's word.

Physically visiting probate court will have the added benefit of allowing you to meet the court staff, other investors etc.
