First Time Landlord Checklist
Hello,
First time landlord here. My husband and I are currently under contract for our first rental property (multi-family home). It comes with tenants on both sides (one until March, one until September). We plan to move in as soon as the earliest lease ends. We had our inspection yesterday and we definitely need to fix a few things, the most pressing being two tall decks that act as a front and back entrance to one of our units. Does anyone have a comprehensive checklist of things to do, for first time landlords? We have never owned a home before, but have a pretty good idea of what it takes to maintain one. Are there any things you wish you did when you first got started? Having tenants with current leases gives us a bit more time to figure out what we want to add in ours. It feels like crunch time and we are trying to do things right, but it sometimes feels like we are missing things.
Thank you in advance for taking the time to answer this!
