Hello,

I'm Lulu, a total newbie, kind of got forced into this as the market crashed and we couldn't sell the house for a profit and my SO got transferred to a job 80 miles south of where we were living. Anybody in the area knows how terrible I-5 traffic can be!

Thankfully, I stumbled across this site while searching for info on landlording, there seems to be a really great wealth of information and support here.

Looking for some great tips as I'm trying to read as much as I can and 'learning as I go'. I have been lurking around for a bit, but figured I better jump in.

Any other locals that can give me any tips or suggestions, I greatly appreciate it!

Welcome Lulu!

There are a few other "accidental" landlords on here, so you're not alone. Maybe the curse will turn into a blessing over time.. I'm a buy and hold investor, so I don't ever plan on selling my properties when I move! Search for landlord in the forums or for any particular topic you're trying to find. Great resources out there.. Here's some more tips for the site..

You'll find lots of good info in the "Learn" link across the top navigation bar, and in the link at the top of this introduction forum. You can tag people by typing @ before you type their name, then clicking their name when it pops up at the bottom of the message box. You can click on the "vote" button if you like someone's post or is helpful. And you can earn "awards" for various "achievements" - just look at your profile. Hope that helps with the site! Good luck on your investments!
