Any tips on how you find quality tenants in the Austin Area?

@Stefano Gasperini - since you are close to Delray, start by using these tips to find an investor-friendly agent - https://www.biggerpockets.com/blogs/10015/64777-5-...Most agents are happy to put you on a MLS drip every day, but you will need to follow up with questions.

@Carl Fischer has some good basic tips to choose a provider.

I like the tip in here to do a small increase every 6 months to ease them into it and make sure they're prepared. 

I was wondering if some people could give me a few tips on how to start this process.

Many online mentors from articles ,seminars, and podcasts have said to get up and start now.  

Appears in pretty good shape from an online search.  

I'd like to retire or maybe semi-retire in about 10 - 15 years.I've been going through the BiggerPockets webinars, and hitting every online resource I could find for the last 2 months.I've settled on trying to purchase a Multi-Family 5+ building on Chicago's SouthSide.

You ccan search online what the average price is for a repair - IE- thermocouple for water heater. etcI think Cozy is a good website for basic PM stuff.
