Creating a Lease Agreement
Hello Bigger Pockets community!
I recently purchased a new primary residence and I am turning my former house into an investment property. I hope this is my jumping off point into a long real estate investment career.
Question: Is there a good resource to create a good/strong lease agreement? I live in the Montgomery County, Maryland area.
I have already called around to different landlord/tenant lawyers in my area and they all said that they do not help draft lease agreements as a service. I was also referred to a property management company, whom I contacted and offered to pay for the one time assistance, but they would only assist me if I used them as a property manager (I plan on managing on my own). I have also found free tools online, but this being my first property, I cannot tell if the generated lease agreements are all encompassing.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!!
