@CarolC84: I wouldn’t take it personally, I think he just puts “LMAO” after everything. Not sure why. Seattle and the surrounding area is great, I was just there in early March, just as Covid-19 was evolving. Mountains, ocean, big city, etc. Saw a great concert at WaMu theater for a band on their first tour date for a 24 date world wide tour (The Strokes), which was their last date due to C 19.
I would focus on licensing, see what requirements are, see what reciprocity they have with Kentucky (if any), and start to chat with some local appraisers and realtors to get a handle on the market. Obviously, they are going through tumultuous times there, like my city; does not mean there is no demand for good appraisers willing to work hard. Scope it out.
