Be somewhat careful with the insurance. The typical fire policy that you get as a Landlord isn't the best, but that's not your primary concern. Those policies have no liability. You can attach one or two rental homes to your primary residence for liability, but be absolutely sure you have $1M of coverage. Usually, you can't get $1M and need an "umbrella" policy to pickup the remainder.

I was once sued by a tenant for $30M. You never know what the fools will do if they latch onto an attorney.

Do not let a tenant handle any heating appliance other than a plug in electric heater (and that's a stretch).
