Years ago, buying an investment property remotely was a pretty big risk. You had to spend some real-time in the market getting to know the properties, the tenant pool, and the local contractors and vendors. 

It’s a lot easier to do now, thanks to technology and the instant availability of reliable data that you need to make smart investment decisions.
