What things can I do now to ensure that we are hitting the ground running on this rental property?

I'd be happy to share more data and help with your search.

Make sure that you are well capitalized and the you are being conservative in your underwriting (by conservative, I mean actually looking at historical data to back you assumptions).

As a landlord, my biggest expense is vacancy and communicating to tenants that your rate is going to go up every year regardless of what other units are charging is a great way to ensure they don't stay very long.  

There may be other discussion about it but both of those episodes are share data explaining why a recession is coming.

@Mark Skaff Here are the basic tools and resources you need to get you started:Listing Platforms:Realnex.com - I useCostar.com - I useCatalyst.com - I useBrevitas,com - I useCrexi.com - I useLoopnet.com - I do not useCRM, customer relationship management options, you only need one:Realnex - I useClientlookApto - SalesforceDigsyMarketing package creator, you only need one:Buildout - I useRealnex - I useMicrosoft PublisherAdobe InDesignMarket and financial analysis - advanced tool:STBD - Site-To-Do-Business (Demographic and Psychographic) - I useCostar.com - Rent and sold comp and market analysis data - I useThe Analyst Pro - Online Financial Analysis toolHP10bii calculatorFuel.com - financial analysis toolRPR Commercial - I useNot all these are mandatory and there are many more that compete with the above, these are ones I've used in the past or currently using now.The key is that you have a listing platform outside the MLS, a CRM to track you contacts, clients, properties and deals, a way to create a stunning marketing package, and market and financial analysis tools.

With as much hacking and sensitive banking data that most investors have on their machines.

Since nothing's really missing, it's probably not worth the effort or the deductible.Make repairs and ensure the home is safe.

After a month or so of doing 2-4 a day you'll have a large enough data set to see what the average return with no debt and the good deals will pop out to you.
