Beginner Landlord Requirements

DeAndre Mason
Posted

Hello BP,

I am potentially closing on a 4-unit multifamily property that I will owner-occupy. The property is located in West Virginia and I was wondering what I need to have in place to legally rent out the other 3 units. I am going to hire a property manager in order to learn how to set up systems much more quickly. Are there any licenses or certifications I need? What safety requirements do I need to provide to the city or state in order for me to have all my "i's dotted and t's crossed".

@DeAndre Mason

Your city website should have an ordinance - It should read "tenant and landlord ordinance"

This will help you with all requirements if ever in doubt youtube it or try to search for a podcast of local realtors and you will find some good data . Wish you the best!!
