It is highly specific, my recommendation is to contact the city directly with qualifying questions or have us do it for you :) In general Astoria is also a No-Go with the exception of commercially zoned properties.

I'm looking to purchase some land in Martinsville, VA from out-of-state, and wanted to know if anyone is able to recommend a reliable property manager that services Martinsville, VA.

Ask any asset protection attorney, and they will recommend WY, NV or DE as best states to use.

I would not recommend this one.

To get access to the maximum amount of equity, I would recommend Tower Credit Union.

Quote from @Sarah Kensinger: I have never heard of her before but recommend a number of other STR designers.

I personally recommend checking Columbus OH - lots of job growth, population growth, and major companies moving and developing here.

I generally recommend if you're not going to buy a property in the city/market where you currently live, the next best place to look is where you have family (and presumably a place that you'll visit relatively often and easily).What is your price point and are you looking for turn-key properties or something along the lines of a "fixer upper", assuming you buy in Peoria or a similar priced Midwest market?

I would not recommend and did not renew my lease with them. 

Would definitely recommend reaching out to a couple RE attorneys to chat.
