Inherited home, needs lots of work

Long story but there is a Caretaker there. Want to start charging rent. Where do I even start?

I assume the "caretaker" is living for free? They probably can't/won't pay much to stay. They may feel a sense of entitlement, and they may not even be good renters.

Unless this is some unique situation like a ranch that requires special skills to maintain the property, I recommend you remove the caretaker, spruce the place up, and put it on the market at market rates.

I also recommend you look for a professional property manager that can help you navigate this immediately. Leave the caretaker in while you search for a PM, then work with them to convert this property to a rental.
