I discovered BP a few weeks ago when I was studying up on what it takes to be a good landlord and came across Brandon Turner's article "How to Be A Landlord: Top Ten Tips for Success."

@Calin Riley I binge-listened to BP podcasts when I discovered this site too.  

If there are any blog/forum posts that cover this, please let me know.      

If you flip a property or have owned a property, by law (at least in MD, VA and DC) you have to disclose EVERY defect that you know about that property that has not been fully addressed, or risk losing your license or, at the very least, get fined for not disclosing latent defects discovered by the buyer.

Make sure to listen to all the BP podcasts, read the articles on the main blog and be active in these forums to learn a ton very quickly about any topic in real estate you want to know more about.This is also a great place to meet people that can be assets to your business.
