Do I need a fax machine?
This is going to sound stupid, but do I need a fax machine and number to do out of state investing, or is scanning and email sufficient to do business with most people?

There are some electronic fax services available for pretty reasonable prices. I use personally use onlinefax but there are others like eFax, hellofax, etc. It also would be good to sign up for docusign or HelloSign so you can send out your contracts for electronic signature. Hope this helps!
