• How can I protect myself when renting a house to someone?

  People make it seem like owning a rental is easy money. But what about people that don't pay? Squatters? Bad tenants? Or what if the tenant just leaves? How do I protect myself when owning a rental? I'm also worried about owning a rental and not getting a tenant. I could float the mortgage for a while, but not that long. I worry that this could ruin me financially rather than be beneficial. Any advice is appreciated.
