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.

Not Good for Details on Tax Implications
Format: Paperback
Nice, easy, readable book written at a very low level. What I was looking for is something about handling the taxes...IRS rules, etc...how profits and losses are reported. This isn't that at all. But there is some useful info in here.
