We bought in 2014 while we were living in Atlanta. We had a contingency that we had to see it in person before being held liable to buying it. We wired the deposit and looked at it a week later. It worked great! No more heartbreaking when the house we liked got sold before we could get down to look at it! I don’t think there is a downside to this.
