Rental #2 rented before we got keys!

So a little background...Without too long of details, I was a landlord by necessity with my first property as a college student where I met my wife. After some time, I started thinking about more properties. My wife on the other hand, is the type that if she could invest a penny and get a dollar, she would just save the penny. After several years of making my case, marriage, both with careers, and two kids later, she finally agreed to give it a go. We searched around the area of our first rental and finally found a house. Closing was taking a little long due to our lack of experience. Once we figured there was nothing that would keep us from closing, we started advertising. This past Saturday we had an open house, rented it to the first group to walk through and closed this past Monday! wooohoo! Here we go! I haven't posted a lot on BP. Just reading everything and trying to learn. Hopefully I'll be able to contribute and give back as I gain my own experience and knowledge. Can't thank you all enough for the info and inspiration!
