We are planning to relocate to a different state (1500km away from my place) in India and was wondering if a physical visit is needed to rent a flat as there are many ways to check the flat (photos on property sites) , locality (google maps , street view etc) , talk to the landlord via video call.

I have read about rental scams on the internet, are there any other things that we need to be worried about.
