Screening tenants will definately be my 1st priority.

There are ways to increase cash flow, you just have to follow the defined rules.In the end it is sad because the personal relationships landlords use to have with tenants is now dictated by rules.

This is my personal retirement above and beyond my state teacher's retirement account(TRA), which luckily is a defined benefit plan(as of now).  

But there is not a defined market to sell rented single family houses.Actually, the houses sometimes are worth more if they are vacant, because they can attract homeowners who want to live in them.  

The most important aspect of management in my opinion is tenant screening.

Other than the legal stuff, unless your lawyer is an active RE investor himself, I would not trust them with all aspects of this agreement.  

It is typically 'negotiators' looking to see if I can "work with them" on some aspect of the rent or security deposit and my response to that is always the same, "Sounds like a low paying job.

Having a license does make many aspects easier.
