If so would it be better to just do virtual staging to save on costs, or should we go with the real thing?

Lease states no pets, tenant can have a virtual zoo and not be evicted.  

When 2008 happened, all construction ground to a halt; virtually nothing was built for a couple of years.

That most definitely sounds like a plan to me as I am looking to build my network of Wholesalers (of course not limited to) with the goal of serving as mutual assets virtually, JV’s, and otherwise! 

I can not imagine doing it virtually, unless you have reliable boots on the ground.If you are new to REI, and fix and flips, I ABSOLUTELY do NOT recommend you start flipping remotely.

We bought this house with only a virtual tour done by the realtor because we had no way to see the house.

Just was doing some virtual driving for dollars in that area.

I’ve gained some more knowledge over the years, and I’m thinking about starting back and trying it virtually as a side hustle. In the city I live in the property value has gone up, and there are plenty of wholesalers trying to get a deal.

My source is case shiller that has top 3 cities in the nation for buy and hold this century as being coastal Ca cities and neighborhood scout that has virtually every large Ca coastal city as a 10/10 on appreciation for this century.
