Uncharted territory for me: New Investor in Raleigh NC

[Dana Williams]

Hello all, I must admit that this is very new to me so there are all kinds of things running through my head but now it's time to condense and put the pedal to the metal.

I have a fully refurbed house that I purchased in Wilson NC and looking to put it on the market for rent next month to possibly have a tenant by Jan. I've been looking at a lot of the posts here and they've been helpful with resolving a lot of things I've been thinking about. 

At the moment, the only thing that is stressing me is the amount of ways that things can be done in terms of managing my property but I'm looking for the best and safest way to do this. Things like "Where do I go to run background and credit checks in the most efficient manner..." and "Should I really use Cozy.co/Apartments to support my property...." has been running through my head. I'm a person who likes efficiency.

Just looking for some answers to help give me a stronger backbone in this time we're living in with things being tougher for some families. I would like to use this thread to bounce questions off of whoever would like to reply and all posts are appreciated and welcome. 

Thank you in advance.
