Learning from others mistakes

[George Moehlenhoff]

So the house I flipped has not sold and I am at the point where I believe potentially it will be more beneficial to rent out. I have already planned to screen using BP's recommended screening service. Couple of questions here, I was going to us an electronic withdrawl from the potential tenants bank account, what are your experiences with that.

Secondly, I am a total newbie Landlord. What tips/advice can you give me to make this experience less painful? I am hoping to learn from others mistakes. Any and all information is appreciated!
