5 tips i should keep in my mind when buying  rental property? 

Here's a list of things to track:- Formal lease application- Formal signed and executed lease specific to your state- Payment history (I recommend using online rent collection like Apartments.com, RentRedi, etc)- Maintenance requests and receipts- Accounting for all rental-related expenses (repairs, utilities, etc) The more you treat it like a business, the more helpful you are to your CPA come tax time. 

I am new to the game with 1 property leased to section 8 under my belt and was about to buy another.

No it doesn’t, it’s just how he played the game back then.

Trying to get in the game.
