From a tool perspective, nothing should be set it and forget it.  

I will always look at the air handler and make sure tenants are installing fresh filters (most neglect this item).  

You should have ample reserves and make sure the house is not a money pit from the maintenance perspective. 

We have no experience managing tenants but have both been renting for a few years now, which has given us some perspective on being good landlords.

So, I reached out to a local brokerage, and they referred me to an agent with significant experience.This man has built a $30 million portfolio himself, and in just a couple of meetings, he completely shifted my perspective.

You need to think about this from the tenant's perspective.

And remember, authentic content that reflects your unique perspective and experience will always be more impactful than recycled material.

The actor Jim Carrey has an interesting perspective “I think everybody should get rich and famous and everything they ever dreamed of so they can see that that’s not the answer.”

Its no surprise that also took them a week to go and turn it off.I had 2 perspective tenants waiting for over a month with their national background check only to find out there were alternatives we could use to get a report in minutes but they refused to not use that company.Finally I get a tenant after 3 months on the market who is someone who was fully approved by the rent amount was 200 dollars less than market value a month so I agreed because it was just before winter when its harder to get someone in.

For your historical data, I would suggest keeping it in Quickbooks and starting fresh (a new month, year, etc.) in Baselane or a similar software.
