I know many investors do, however it can be a little like playing Russian roulette. Why take the chance. Compared to any property investment the cost of travel and accommodation is insignificant. If you are going to do this your self and it is an interstate or overseas investment allow at lease a week, so that you are taking your time and are not being forced into rushing the purchase. Not everyone has the time. Personally I love doing the research and once you commence you will find it addictive.
