Newbie in Hatton, North Dakota

[Account Closed]

Hi all,

My name is Mike and I am a soon-to-be landlord in Hatton, ND. I never seriously considered becoming a landlord until about a month ago; my neighbors had to move about 5 years ago and have been renting their house since then. After three less-than-ideal tenants in a row, they decided to sell the place. (They now live about 300 miles away) They offered it to me for a VERY good price.  

My wife and I decided to buy it for two reasons...in order of importance;  #1. To have control over who are neighbors are, and #2. as an investment opportunity.

We are in the process of getting the funding lined up right now, and I have been trying to soak in as much as a can about landlording for a few weeks now.  I look forward to learning a lot at this site.  I did a very little bit of looking around before signing up and this looks like a treasure trove of knowledge.

I have a few specific questions right now that I will try and find answers to in the forums.  If I can't for some reason, I will be sure to post.
