Anyone else finding it hard to book viewings for units far outside KL (e.g. Kuantan, Ampang)?

For those who've rented outside the main urban clusters: how did you handle viewings when you couldn't just "pop by" easily? Did you ask for a video walkthrough first before committing to travel down for a physical viewing? And did you still negotiate the same way (deposit, minimum tenancy) as you would for a KL/PJ unit?
Also curious if pricing and availability info tends to be less accurate for these listings since turnover of tenants/agents might be slower. Would love to hear from anyone renting in secondary towns.
