M: Once I purchase a property, how do I find a tenant if I don't use a property manager?


Get the property into "move-in" condition, advertise locally on free sites and/or in the local newspaper, get a copy of a good lease to use in your state, follow up with every tenant lead call or email, show the property, have them fill out an application, do a background and credit check, sign the lease and start collecting rent.
