If you are thinking of buying it "sight unseen" then I have a different opinion than most. I bought two properties in the area and one was my own fault for not comprehending where my lot was located (so I bought it accidently sight unseen)- and the second one was a house, that I didnt see the interior until a week and a half after I put in the accepted offer, with earnest money and everything else. The main reason both of these situations occured is because the price was so insanely low, that I was rushing to "lock in the deal". I only had the time to "drive by" and then immediately got a hold of the realtor to put in the offer. I am very happy that I did this both times, so I think if something is cheap enough, it may be worth the risk. But not everyone does stuff like this, and I dont really advise it- I just thought I'd share two instances where it did work out well.
