@Tess FalJoin the Georgia Real Estate Investors Association, gareia dot com.

Many HOAs are no longer allowing STRs within the associations. 

A great way to start networking is by attending RE events and joining a local investors association.

I was wondering if there is anyone that can provide some advice on property management/contractors or anything associated with having a property out of state.

It may take some searching to find one but inspectors who are associated with companies that build them or pump them will try to sell you their products.

I’m thinking about  building storage units that I could sell and charge an association fee. 

I just saw all my insurance policies come down for the first time (renewal last month) and my condo association is expecting a flat or decrease at renewal.  

Only nearby city that rivals it is Amarillo (2.5hr drive north) and it does not have anywhere near the education infrastructure or $$$ inflow Lubbock has (at least not yet) with Texas Tech and associated schools, SPCC, LCU.

A great way to start is by attending RE events and joining a local investors association.

I see a number of economic development and community vitality initiatives initiated circa 2020, including a community master plan, the development of the MetroHealth complex and associated green space, the Community Housing Plan 2030, 25Connects, Mayor Frank Jackson's Neighborhood Transformation Initiative, and others.
