1st time Investor. What are the main things to have in order day1

[Luis Lopez]

Hello Team, God bless!

I close this week on my first duplex. I have one side rented out and the other is vacant and needs some love.

What are the proper steps to getting it rented out?

What do I use to advertise?

Who do I contact for a proper lease agreement?

Do I need a lawyer?

Should I turn it into an LLC?

I was always scared to pull the trigger and now that I have I'm so nervous that it's actually happening.

Thank you so much.
