Becoming a landlord

Nikki asks:
(updated on Wednesday, June 26th 2019)

I am looking at renting out my current home and moving cities. I am in Auckland. I am just wanting to know where I can go to get all the necessary information on becoming a landlord, taxes, insurances and etc. Is there somewhere I can go to read up on all of this? I will use a property manager but I want to know what extra costs are involved apart from insurance and property management fees.
