I inspect virtually every property I bid on.

@Taylor CookI did them myself for a long time but recently hired a virtual assistant accountant out of the Philippines.

@Emily Lai how can you provide your services virtually?

Hi BP,I'm looking to get started wholesaling in Cleveland, OH virtually.

Any tool that does that isn't going to help you because you can't verify that the numbers you are plugging in are actually even in the ballpark if you are doing everything virtually.

I came across an off market deal about 3 minutes from Youngstown State University, and wanted to hear other investor's opinion on the city.

I'd also look into his specific college/university and see if they have a business major that concentrates on real estate.
