Appreciate the comments so far and have to admit, it is a bit of a eye opener for me!  I've never thought about buying house sight unseen, but now that I think about it, I guess what @Chris Grenier said makes sense, it's quite difficult to arrange showings and drive/fly to see multiple properties if a deal is there to be made.

For those of you that have purchased sight unseen, do you have everything lined up beforehand, specifically lawyer (who is familiar with the city/state), property manager, etc.?

I used to travel to Columbus a lot with my day job and think it was a great city.  I drove around the neighborhoods with a co-worker and always thought it would be a good place to invest in. 

Hi BP! I'm new to BP and REI in general, but found plenty of great information here.

One thing I am curious about though, it sounds like quite a number of investors own properties out of state and wondering how many investors have never seen/visited their properties or perhaps only seen it prior to purchasing and have not visited it since closing?

I'm in the North Jersey area and open to properties OOS, but wondering how often do you go see the property or do you primarily leave it to a property manager to take care of it?
