1st Landlord deal

Looking to move out of my primary residence and utilize it as a rental as the property has good Cash Flow. Should I use a management company to go about finding good qualified tenants? Or should I do the background checks and screen myself? If so who do I use for extensive background checks? Thanks

Do it yourself. It's not expensive and will give you a feel for the whole landlord experience. If you hate it, hire someone. Personally, I never pay someone to do something I can do myself until my time is worth more than my money.

Go to resources for background check services.
