Aspiring Pennsylvania Landlord needing resources

[Dustin Cramer]

Hello, I'm fairly new around here, been doing a lot of homework for my first investment property.  I am looking to have rentals, and I am going to need all of my forms and would like to pre-identify a landlord/real estate laywer in advance.  Is anyone in here a landlord in Pennsylvania?  Can anyone vouch for the Landlord Association of PA or a similar group (they have some forms available for members).  Also, I'm looking at American Apartment Owners Association.  Seems pretty large and they have state specific forms.  I'm making sure to do a lot of research here because I have only been in PA a a few years, and it seems very much a legalistic and bureaucratic system with a lot of extra rules and hidden pitfalls.  Any advice would be appreciated.  Thanks.

@Dustin Cramer OK - welcome.  I'm in Pittsburgh and have 2 properties here.  Unless you plan to house hack, I strongly recommend finding deals where the numbers support property management.  The property manager will take care of screening, placement, proper leases, etc.
