@Michael LeaheyIt looks like you're following the forum Landlord Forums & Rental Property Questions which is why you keep getting alerts whenever there is a new discussion. 

I would add, make sure you have good landlord resources as you enter into the landlord domain-lease agreement fitting your situation-resources for your tenant application process -needed landlord forms and notices-education resources-management tools (e.g. software to keep all records, pictures, payment history, etc.)Best wishes.

They do not provide advice nor keep up with every development in every section of the tax code.
