Unexpectedly landlording - Process help please?

[Caitlin B.]

Long story short, we purchased a house this year for a family member to live in, but they passed away unexpectedly before they could move in. It required a lot of work, and we did not just go through all the time, stress, and expense (which we'd do gladly for family member) to just sell it and break even. It's not an ideal investment property as such. It's a very small <900 sqft 2 bedroom SFH with no basement, though it does have a large garage, in a very high property tax area. So we've decided we'll be putting it on the rental market. I've been trying to do my process home work and would appreciate any insight.

What I'm gathering a sound process should be:

1. Register for google voice number

2. List house on zillow/craigslist, etc. with google voice number.

3. Send interested parties a link to pre-screening via a created google form (sample found in another thread).

4. Schedule showings for qualifying pre-screeners.

5. Then have them complete the official application with background and credit check (through zillow? mysmartmove? something else?)

6. Have them sign rental contract (created through ??)

7. Collect rent via ACH transfer (using Zillow? Other?)

We were already prepared to keep up with the maintenance of the property when family member would have been living there, so that was already in our plans. Thank you!
