Business License required in VA? Registered agent needed for nonresident?

I am going to rent out my primary residence in VA when I move to AZ. Do i need a resident agent when I become a non-resident of VA? If so, who (ex. lawyer, friend, property management company) would make a good resident agent and what is their role? I did plan to self manage remotely from AZ.

Also, is a business license required in VA to be a landlord? Thanks!

Each state and municipality have their own laws and requirements.

Doubt you need a business license, but you should be able to Google that.

Contact your city to find out if they require a local agent or any registration or licensing of a rental.
