A First time Landlord needs help with insurance, screening and leases.

[Ann Mclean]

First time as a landlord and I have found a tenant for LTR.  I need a good insurance agent to write a landlord policy, I also need a lease and tenant screening, what else do I need, and can you please recommend software or apps and a good insurance agent who understands real estate.

Is Rent Redi good enough?  Any help will be greatly appreciated.

How did you find a Tenant if you don't know how to screen? 

BiggerPockets has a Lease Agreement Package that is included with your PRO membership. It's written by investors and attorney approved for each state: https://www.biggerpockets.com/...

Do yourself a favor: buy "Every Landlord's Legal Guide" by NOLO. Written by attorney investors, it's full of practical advice pertaining to management of investment property, has sample forms that can be edited, and - most importantly - they tell you what your primary state laws are and where you can read them. It's updated every year and is the best $40 you'll spend as a Landlord. There is one book for 49 states and a separate book for California.
