Buying a home online anywhere is almost always a huge mistake. I knew someone that bought a place "up north" based on the pictures in the listing and a map. Of course the listing pictures don't show the unkept neighbors homes, and people with debris in their yard all year.

I've talked to many people in TV that have bought sight-unseen but I don't understand why they would take those risks when they could fly down for a few hundred dollars and take a look at what they're buying first. What seems fine to one person might be unacceptable to another person.
