Who knows, maybe there are adventurous folks who’ve lived, worked, or invested in all 19 states serving as their advisors.When it comes time to sell those properties, the majority of prospective buyers will be locals (unless sell on platforms tailored to RE investors), likely represented by local realtors who scrutinize the properties in person and guard the buyers’ interests - the cards would probably be stacked against the sellers who’ve never seen the properties with their own eyes and lacked guidance from experts with equal amount of knowledge when they bought the properties.

Besides the house I live in this will be a brand new set of adventures for me.

)Since we're pretty much the same person (figuratively, of course) I'll try to keep you posted on my new adventures as they come up and I'll be sure to keep up with how you're REI adventure proceeds as well.Thanks for the comment; it's always good to know there are others like you pursuing the same goals!!

-Hotel Brokers - Hotel brokers are generally not under the big name brokers, there are a handful of specialty brokerage firms that just handle hotels, motels, casinos.  

If your feeling adventurous, you can get great deals in KI Sawyer. 

You kinda can't go wrong and the fun is all in the adventure finding your personal favorite.
