Managing your own properties
I have had a rental property for almost 5 years now. I have been happy with my property management company for the most part. However, I would like to start taking care of this on my own. I feel like the knowledge and experience of the ins and outs of this property would be important for my future investments. I am hoping that someone could recommend to me, some resources to read or watch that could help me with understanding the basics of managing a property and then some more detailed information. I would like to find out how to perform credit and background checks first and foremost. Additionally, I would like to find out what are the things I need to do to protect myself from a legal standpoint.
Any and all information would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
