My First Rental - What are your best tips for a 1st timer?

[Joshua Sclafani]

We are almost done fixing up our first rental property and aim to have it rented ASAP. It's a 1920's bungalow in a very trendy neighborhood in Tampa and we want top rent for it (of course). I've listened to all of the landlord/property management podcasts on BP and have gleaned so many great bits of advice but I'm hoping to glean some tips from you BP gurus, anything you wish you knew BEFORE you rented out your first place. I would be incredibly grateful for any tips you are willing to share!
