Hi, BP family. I’m looking for a local real estate attorney or recommendations on how to go about making sure my first rental property (long-term) and lease is up to rental standards/local and state laws. What appliances are required and what are “amenities”? Can I charge pet fees? Etc. Things like that!

 I was planning on starting off with the BP Landlord Docs as a starting point and then talking with a local real estate attorney in my area? I’m in the South Houston Market (League City). I’d be very appreciative of any advice or recommendations on how you would go about making sure your first rental property started off on the right foot! Thanks!!!

Thanks Aaron, I have a good interest rate at 2.7% currently that makes apprehensive to refinance even though I've heard people say not to be so focused on interest rate. Thats why I'm looking at HELOC to use as capital on my next investment. I appreciate your advice!

 Will do Aaron, thank you!

I plan on turning my primary home into my first rental property. Should I take out a HELOC in my primary residence before switching it to a rental? Is a HELOC only allowed from your primary? Thank you!!

Hi BP family,

I plan an turning my primary residence into my first rental. Do I have to switch to landlord insurance? What other things should i be thinking about regarding turning a primary residence into my first rental property? I probably will use a PM since i will no longer be in the area. Thanks for any and all advice. This is an exciting start to my investment journey! I look forward to networking with anyone willing to share their stories and advice to someone eager to learn. Also, if you or anyone you know is interested in the learning more about the Coast Guard and how awesome of a service it is, please reach out!
