Closing on my first tent occupied duplex, “What should I know”?
Let me first say how grateful I am that such a community like BiggerPockets exists. It’s through the education, the transparent Podcast, and supportive community; that such an average guy like myself, not only believe I too can reach financial freedom, but actually make it a reality..
I’m closing on my first investment property in 2 weeks, I also will have my first tent at that time as well. With that comes a flood of questions that brings me to this posting.
What should I be prepared for as a Landlord?
What type of protections should I have?
What should I know to be the best Landlord possible?
Thanks BP members for the advice and feedback!
