A company that offers regular training opportunities is also a must.

If you're going in full time, a team would be great to learn from and sort of have the training wheels for the time being.

You can also join the California Apartment Association and get forms there.I do not recommend using a lease found on the internet.

I own a house on a dead end street that has a railroad repair line (where they drag a few train cars for repair to the shop) on the back property line and an interstate highway on the other property line, and even though I would never live there and think the noise is terrible a lot of the time (no sound barriers anywhere, though I have trees and bushes), I have never had a penny of trouble renting this house and have had some long term tenants in there who told me the sound of the highway put them to sleep. 

I train my tenants to text me. 

He found that he couldn't price himself out of work and he couldn't hire and train people fast enough.

Hmmm now my day is ruined, I'll be on the internet all day lol.

If you're interested in more in-person training, I agree with the above post that Brad Sumrok runs a good educational program.

If you do have such a business model then when you are searching for investment you will be looking for investments that can achieve that goal.I can write 10,000 pages, but I am exhausted and this will be my last statement.Never ever act on the advice from brokers, real estate agents, friends, relatives, bankers and never believe what I write because I could be the most full of sh... person who ever wrote a post on the internet.

If I ever hire someone to handle a task I can just share a report with their activities and they can train up on them by treating them as desktop procedures.
