While there are going to be a lot of resources for you (nolo.com for example) I would highly recommend that you hire an attorney and let them handle this and you ask them 100 questions along the way if this is something you want to know how to do on your own in your own city.

Hire a PM if you don't want to be a landlord and enjoy the passive income.
