My wife is an agent in NYC, she does really well and does all of the things that you outlined - takes time to learn if there is a barrier, guides her clients through the buying or renting process as seamlessly as possible, etc.

I just watched there 90-day guide to investing and thought making an account was the next step in my real estate journey.

and promote local attractions (pubs, tour guides, yacht rental, etc...) while having them do the same for your rental. 

Quote from @Kevin Reinhardt: Best practice: screen and approve every adult, whether they work or not, and have them all sign the lease.I highly recommend you purchase "Every Landlord's Legal Guide" by NOLO or "Managing Rental Properties" by Brandon Turner.

Hi BP Community,I'm starting out my learning path and I've read the Ultimate Beginners Guide and have been listening to the BP Podcast starting from the old episodes.

It was the first real estate related book I ever read and it also guided me towards BP.
