First Purchase - SFH

[Kyle Coleman]

Hello BP,

Been lurking / reading and learning for a long time. However, the time has finally come to get over analysis-paralysis and buy my first unit.  It's a 3BR 2Bath near LSU (state university). The average rent rate per room for a student is 550.  It's currently occupied, but all tenants are moving out at the end of May (graduating). 

My question to BP is this, what are the firsts things a new landlord should be doing - the house will be move-in ready.  I've read all the guides, and I have a really good idea of everything I should do - but it's almost information overload at this point.  I'd really like some bullet points, quick and simple.

Thanks all, very excited to finally start the next step.

Kyle
