First Buy and Hold Purchased - Insight NEEDED

[Jordan Magrini]

Hey Everyone,

My wife and I closed on our first buy and hold and it happens to be out of state; we live in FL and purchased in GA. We are working on placing a tenant now, and our realtor is awesome enough to accommodate some showings this week in an effort to have a tenant by Feb 1st (not mortgage payment until March).

I know BP has a tenant screening tool (plus GA legal docs), as does my MLS (I'm a Realtor in FL), and Apartments.com. I've set us up on Apartments.com, previously Cozy, to manage the rental and take payments online.

Any best practices you more seasoned investors have would be awesome!

Thank you for taking the time to read and respond!
