I will become the owner of a 3 story rental property in about 8 months and I'm pretty stoked about it. I've been researching my state's laws and whatnot but I was wondering if anyone here was a landlord and what kind of Pro advice I can get.

Doesn't have to be tons of advice and could even be tips but I'll take anything I can get.

Things like what to look for in a tenant (how to spot the good ones I mean), things I should focus on that can increase how much I can charge (what do people usually care about the most), what is the best way to collect rent (record keeping), What kind of contracts should I write (what should I include in the paperwork) etc.

I appreciate any and all advice offered and if you don't have any advice but would like to share any stories you might have as a property owner I'd love to hear that too.

Thanks a bunch and much appreciation! =)
