Hello BP community!

First and foremost, I'm loving this site and I'm ready to make my first deal as an investor. Those calculators.. wow! 

I found a deal that is very appealing in its numbers but there are not any pictures of the unit itself. What is your typical approach for this? In addition to driving by, I'm considering just asking about options for viewing the inside but if there are any ideas you have, I'm open to those, too. I'm in the southern California market if that info makes any difference :)

Thanks everybody!

James

@James Cargill - in my market it is common to not post pictures of tenant occupied units.  If the landlord did not take pictures when it was vacant it is a liability to post photos of the tenant's personal items online (big screen TV + address = theft possibilities)

Some of the best properties I have bought had no photos because other people passed on it.  Call your agent and have them schedule a showing
