I am a local realtor and investor.

Highly recommend partnering with a local realtor who knows the market. 

With blockchain, every transaction is recorded, hence why governments like buying the currency... for law enforcement purposes.

What local bank or credit Union (Navy possibly) do you recommend he goes with? 

However, investing locally has become increasingly unfeasible and unrealistic due to the high costs.

Operating an Airbnb business requires being up to date on current local ordinances and restrictions.

., so do you mean living in one state while a local PM manages a STR for you in the other state?

I'm currently looking for a flip locally - within 30-45 minutes of Lancaster, PA. 

It is is going to calculate the expected price based off what you tell it as well as what Price Labs sees in the local market.I questioned myself moving to price labs after I had been doing this manually for several years.

I'm looking for advice on whether I should purchase my father-in-law's 6 unit apartment in Burien, WA (10 minutes south of Seattle) as my first deal, or perhaps help find him a seller that would pay more than I could and is a couple years ahead of me in REI.
