Real estate has always been an interest of mine and I have listened to the BP podcast for years also I've read many books on the topic but never actually jumped in.

Lisa Kovac yea all the professionals and books ive read about landlording said to do app fee and a couple background and credit checks.

I've been watching a million videos, reading a lot of books, websites, ect. 

The fact they are complaining online might be an indication the property manager dealt with them properly so be sure to ask the manager for their side of the story.I hope this basic guide helps.
