These can'ts can all be turned into I can. If you have the funds to explore 
this avenue of investment, make it work. How do you plan to find these 
properties? If through a realtor, build a relationship with one. Let them 
know your intention. Nowadays, they want you to sign a contract with them to 
help you buy. At that point, they work for you. Advise them that you need 
their visual input and that it will impact future business. Take your 
wife/partner if you have one. Do an initial look through on your own but 
tell the person you have to bring back your designer/contractor. Carefully 
use all of your senses. Does the house feel damp? Does it have a weird odor? 
Does the floor seem strange? Develop a relationship with a Home Inspecter. 
Have him/her advise you before you sign. You could get in some serious 
trouble buying a house unseen. So, you find some kind of way to network with 
people to report to you what they see. Your expertise comes from knowing 
what to look for, how to detect it, knowing what is fixable, and so on. And, 
there's something to be said about instinct. If it doesn't feel right, 
either know why or walk away. There's another property just waiting to have 
you visit it. Sellers will hide what they don't want you to see. You have to 
be smart enough to find the clues and you have to understand real estate 
too. It's not as easy as those guys on tv make it sound lol.

Hello,
I have been researching real estate investing and I am wondering what
people's experiences have been when buying a house?
Everyone says to observe and trust your instincts on every investment if
the numbers work. The problem is that I can't see the neighborhood, I
can't see if there are stains everywhere, I can't see if the banisters
shine...
Is this when sighted partners are a must-have? I can see potential in
the interior as well as some general landscaping, but nothing to the
extent the good real estate investors see. I know much of it is just
experience, so I would like to know if other people have baught
investment properties and how they trust their instincts?
thanks,
