My First Deal - Seeking Landlord Advise

[Tom Edwards]

After a couple of years of research here on BP, I'm moving on my first investment property in NW Indiana. Its an occupied 2 unit in a residential neighborhood. I have a few questions on how to start my journey as a landlord:

1. 1. Insurance. Any special considerations with home owners insurance? 
2. 2. Prop Manager. Recommendations for property managers in NW Indiana? 
3. 3. What's the best way to manage my books? Any recommendations on spreadsheets/SW programs to help manage property/investment          accounting?

Thanks!
