Rental Purchased! What’s Next?

[David Hernandez]

Hi! I am very close to closing out on my first rental property. Besides a few tweaks, home is move-in ready. I want to get a “checklist” of what I need to do next in terms of the legal side and paperwork to get this thing rented out (or even steps I need to take prior to renting it out, such as getting insurance and a contract agreement). Since I have little experience, can you advise on those things that can be overlooked by a newbie landlord like me? Thank you!
