I actually prefer it because it tends to help mitigate property damage.

My failed expectation of safety is rooted in the frequent early morning visitors often get the wrong house on the first try, theoretically allowing for a dope head to walk into my house at any hour, the fact that the son is still at large and we could be raided by the State Police again at any moment, and the fact that the secluded nature of the area makes our side of the property easily surveilled by the other side - which is not optimal when my wife is home alone.My landlord is now seeking damages for the lost rent and has served me with an eviction notice. 

, how do I close on a property to include accepting keys all while not physically being there?

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.

They have never asked me to send the damaged cartridge back. 

Do you like the physical work; pick a trade like electrical, construction, plumbing, roofing,etc and go that route.  

Most insurance policies don't cover flood insurance and its a common misconception that water damage is flood coverage and it is not.

A 5% physical vacancy might be correct but you will probably have the occasional non-payer that takes a month to evict. 

Here’s my question, are there investors out there that actually buy property without having seen them physically themselves; buying without stepping foot in and walking the floors?

North Florida, hurricane / tropical storm area....So, with the damage being done by the POWER not being on, the floor can and will separate from moisture...
