It's supposed to be one of the reasons why you call one of us, rather than a big bank or internet lender, or whatever. 

Are there more effective ways to locate properties using the internet?

If you have found the buyer yourself, do an internet search on "close my home sale" and you should find a flat fee purchase agreement and closing arrangement service (although not area has such services available).If you haven't found a buyer and are considering a flat fee MLS listing, many of the reputable services will include the purchase agreement forms and guidance on how to get a transaction closed when the buyer does not have an agent.

As long as your tenant base has bank accounts and are internet capable, I’d always use Cozy, Apartments.com or Tenant Cloud type services.

I recommend starting with the Internet!

The town is VERY small (~2,000 population), very rural, but has gig internet and is less than an hour from Yellowstone/Cody, Thermopolis, and Ten Sleep, Wyoming.

It will be on the Internet so you can look it up for your area.

I did a quick search on the Internet and learned that there is something like a Blue Book value that is used for cars.

John absolutely - in the day and age of the internet and google I get 90 percent of my homes all digital.
