Packet and form preferences for rental process

[Collin Lee Johnson]

Hey everyone!

So I've gone through, and taken notes on Brandon Turners, 'The Book on Managing Rental Properties', which is phenomenally helpful to get a lot of groundwork, and structure towards building a business for real estate, tons of info, forms, links, and general best practices, I love it, this post isn't just to gush about that however. My Question is this; What forms and packets do you use when going through and getting a property rented out to a tenant.

I've heard of a welcome packet, seen utility explanations, and read about the checklists for move in, out, condition, etc., but I want to know what you are using, and why, and what advice you would have for a newb going through and setting up their systems before they buy (obviously some advice may be 'don't put the cart before the horse', I get it, but say you could start where I'm at, what do you wish you had implemented early on)?

Thanks for the advice!
