Hello all, I’m new to the long distance investing. I live on the west coast and I have made an accepted offer on a flip. Closing is supposed to happen in 4 weeks from now. I have had contractors give me bids after being shown the property by my real estate agent. I have only seen the property via FaceTime and pictures and via a home inspection. I am trying to fight the urge to fly across the country to see and manage the flip.
My questions to long distance investors is when do you, if at all, actually put eyes on the property?

What are you looking to do when you fly out there?

To confirm completion and quality of the rehab before putting back on the market.
Do you see a need for this?

I'd say, if you were going to do that part of things, maybe you should flip locally (or semi-locally).
