  • Handy resource
Format: Paperback
I would recommend this book to anyone who is a first time landlord, no matter your rental space (room, apt. garage, etc). There is lot of valuable information that can benefit anyone with little or no experience as a landlord.

  • Good advice but lots of additional information needed
A good primer for first-time landlords but I felt there were many many places where they referred the reader to NOLO for more forms or advice not contained in this guide. I was hoping for more comprehensive guidance, however I think this guide is an excellent resource for those needing to get started. ... show more

  • Good information
Format: Paperback
Explains well and provides real life examples and online resources. I am a realtor and found this book quite helpful. Highlights the important things and reminds us not to let our feelings about other or first impressions get in front of our decision-making. Highly recommend.

  • Good info, but not well written.
Format: Paperback
Iʻm having to spend a lot of time flipping back and forth in the book because single topics are covered in different parts of the book. I had hoped that the book would provide more of a step by step guide, but apparently thatʻs not what the author intended.
