This is a great overview @Wes D.

I do not have the best reading comprehension.

Find a local investor-friendly realtor in your area who can give you an overview and assist you as you start to get to work.

Here's a quick overview of the EPA’s certification requirement and why it matters. 

Here's an overview of the periods they should consider:Monthly Leases - 15 days of notice.Leases That Last a Year or Less - 15 days of notice.Leases Without a Specified Period - 15 days of notice.Leases That Last Over a Year - 30 days of notice.If you've met the requirement of giving notice, then you can legally require them to leave by a specific date/time and change the locks the second they are out.

But before I give you my play-by-play, let me first overview what this concept includes for anyone new to property management or owning rental properties. 

I tried Zillow Apps years ago and saw that it wasn't very comprehensive.

What you are looking for is basically "experience" and that is too comprehensive for a post.Most buyers spend very little time finding the right agent because they think they are all the same and it does not matter so much.

Brokerages just give you overview training, but they don't give you real-life experience and client opportunities.

The book gives an overview on index funds and real estate.
