The thing you should read up on is Fair Housing Laws and just make sure you don't illegally discriminate.Even you just do it for a bit, and get some experience with management, it will help you to better manage the managers, unless you are lucky enough to get a top notch manager that is reasonably priced and not overcharging you for maintenance.Best of luck!
