What's the best way to go about renovating a property when I can't physically be there?

Do you have any tips on investing out of state or how did you get over the fear of investing somewhere where you can’t physically be?

I know once I send my family member out I am about 95% sure I want to put an offer pending physical inspection. 

So in theory I would probably only need to add slightly more to that pot to cover any potential hardships down the road incorporating a new investment property as well.Really appreciate your perspective and advice.

Some cities have offices you physically go to and others you can look up online.

Staying close to home helps because you can physically go by the house, see it, touch it and check up on it if need be.

I will definitely visit the property in-person before closing, but wanted to get your advice on best-practices when it comes to getting a property under contract before physically visiting it.Thank you in advance!

Another consideration will be whether the land is in an incorporated or unincorporated area.

I've been told by  financial planner that, during the 200-hour CFP training program, there is literally only about 30-45 minutes about real estate.There most certainly is a market for financial planners that incorporate real estate analysis.
