You do not have to physically visit the property yourself.

I will definitely try it now.Does anyone advertise with physical media any more (newspaper, flyers, etc)?

And then run everything through your formula/calculator and generate reports for you of what I find. 3) Talk With People - And I'd be willing to contact them via email/text/phone to actually talk with them and see if we can work out a deal. 4) Physically Walk the Property - Also, I could get out take pictures of the property for you or any other reconnaissance that you need. 

I was looking at houses physically back when I visited in November 2021 and the 1% rule just no longer applied.

Unlike direct mail, your prospect doesn't have a physical reminder of your company so you need to have them on an aggressive followup sequence and/or VM blast campaign.

Anyway, another way I think of this.. is that I only invested my own physical cash to the tune of ~$25K (the other 15K was purchasing construction materials on a 0% interest CC which I'll pay back before the 12 month intro period).

Is that an estimate based on them knowing the area or do they need to physically be inside to look?

The address needs to be a physical address where notices can be served.  

When I had concerns he was able to either give me a physical report, i.e. smells, carpet condition etc., or leverage the video feed, i.e. any polarized plugs, better view of the roof, etc.Additionally, all the documents were signed electronically.

I'm not sure the legality of that provision - don't believe that all HOA covenants are legal; some have never been tested in court or even vetted by a decent attorney - so that would be a legal question: who is liable (beyond the tenant) for physical/financial damages caused by an individual you did not place?
