Closing in approx 10 days on first rental

[Michael Kiger]

Good Morning all

About to close on first rental. It's a duplex with tenants already in place. Looking for any thoughts or advice for things I may not have thought of.

Still weeding through apps for management. avail, tessa etc

Do I have the existing tenants fill out an application? They are on month to month currently and by all appearances are good tenants. Fingers crossed. Will get them to a new lease once it is closed on. Finalizing lease now. There is currently a property manager however she is in her 80's and is looking to retire so she does not wish to continue. So for now will self manage. 

Thoughts on introducing myself vs staying anonymous?

Any thoughts or suggestions are welcome. Thank you!!
