What do you feel is your landlord responsibility?

What do you feel is your landlord responsibility?

I know a couple of great insurers that will give you competitive landlord insurance quotes.

I know there are landlords that protest that including these items will expose them to unmanageable maintenance costs but to be honest we rarely get calls (I use top load washers - more durable and simpler technology than front loaders).

Is there any insight as to where to search or find off market deals or even vacant land lords?

So I have researched ways to find land and motivated sellers. 

There are lots of good companies out there so I'm sure you'll land some place great.

Treat them fairly, price the property accurately, be a responsible landlord, and I'm sure your new tenant could be just as loyal (maybe not for 30 years) but for a while!
