Ready to rent out my first house in Melbourne
Hi all,
I am about to take the plunge and rent out my first house in Melbourne, FL. I am fairly confident when it comes to the tenant screening process and maintaining things once it gets going, but I am a little apprehensive about some of the details, like how to handle the security deposit, and a decent lawyer to supply or review a lease. Also any other pitfalls that may not be obvious to someone that hasn't done this before.
Is there a good, fairly detailed, source of information for getting started in Florida?
Thank you,
Dave
