1. You definitely want a home warranty, that way when things break, you can just call them and pay the service fee rather than having to come out of pocket for repairs.

2. Call your insurance company and make sure that your policy is a RENTER policy, otherwise if something goes wrong, they may not cover it.

3. 100% of everything you do with that property is tax deductible. Everything. That's HOA fees, gas used while driving there, advertising fees, etc... it's a beautiful thing.

4. Don't be afraid to turn down potentially bad tenants.

I'd look into hiring a third party administrator for the tenants, they do the background checks, credit, etc. for you, and usually most of the advertising. I'd probably want to make things as easy as possible for myself, and that's usually what a lot of my clients do regarding their properties.

I do this too. Those fux take 10% tho, and sometimes fukk shyt up. On my last month's statement, I saw $327.00 in "maintenance fees" so I asked why they didn't contact the home warranty company. So far no response. I think I'm about to fire them.
