Renting Out My First Property - Newbie Landlord

[Yashank Choksi]

Hey there! 

Hope everyone is doing amazing.

I am located in Charlotte, NC and I will be renting out my property for the first time somewhere around August. There are a couple of repairs that I will have to get done on the property. For repairs, what would be the best way to go about it? Should I find the cheapest option or should I look into more quality repair work? Also, is there any checklist that will say the things I need to have up to date in order to rent the property out?

Another question: would getting a property manager be a wise step? I am kinda confused about it since I only have one rental property. 

Since I have at least 6 more months for it, I want to start preparing now!

Any help regarding this is highly appreciated!

Best,

Yashank
