closing on first rental property - seeking organizational tips!

[Brianna Tardi]

Hi BP.... We are soon closing on our first investment property and decided we will manage it on our own, but now I need your help. I've read and listened to many BP forum/podcast and it seems like we are going to start with utilizing apartments.com, so I'm looking for some advice on tips and tricks to take the next step to market our rental. The little nuances that keep running through my mind are; the best way to keep things organized, do I open a new bank account for this property, do I make a separate email address, did you get professional photos, etc.. maybe I'm overthinking this all.. any tips? If you manage multiple rentals on your own, is there anything you would tell your "younger investor self" now that you wish you did when you started - simply to make your life easier?
