  • Highly Informative and Helpful Book Very Happy I Bought it
Format: Paperback
After my husband passed in 2023 I had to take over our rental properties. Purchasing this book saved me a lot of headaches in managing the apartments. It covers just about every situation you might encounter including taking over a rental property, screening tenants, leases, contracts, managing tenants, problem tenants, getting rid of bad tenants, dealing with contractors, business organization and bookkeeping. Plus the appendix has numerous sample forms for different situations and a brief summary of landlord-tenant laws for each state with links. A year later I am much more confident in being a landlord but still have occasion to reference this book. ... show more

  • Practical and informative tips for approaching landlording as a business vs. a hobby
Format: Paperback
Excellent book with many practical tips not only for landlords but also for business owners and tenants. Unlike other books written by charlatans to make a quick buck, this one is written by two people with extensive experience in real estate, having professionally managed dozens of investment properties for years. ... show more

  • A Must-Read for all Prospective and Current REI
Format: Paperback
My husband recommended I read this book after we decided I’d take over the management of our real estate company. I had no prior knowledge of REI, let alone being an effective landlord. This book has quite literally everything you could need to be successful as a landlord. Whether you’re just starting out and own no property, or own dozens and just want to be better, this is a MUST READ. The chapters are divided to make it so easy to refer back to specific sections as you need them. Not only that, the appendix features exact copies of the forms and documents you could need for your tenants. With all of the info, it’s also an easy read. The authors are clearly so educated and successful in the field, and also include details of their personal successes and failures. Can’t recommend this enough! ... show more

  • Best Book on Managing Rentals I've Read!!!
Are you looking to buy some rental property? Do you already own some rental property? Either way you need to get this book if you plan on managing your rentals! And if you own less than 20 properties and you are not managing your own rentals then you are throwing your money away! (not in all cases but why would you pay someone to manage your properties when you can do it yourself, easily!) This book is amazing and it shows you how you can manage your rentals with ease. Very thorough, while also breaking everything down to its most simplest form. This book shows you how to train your tenants for success and also how to deal with ones that are not the best tenants in the world. It shows you how to select the best tenants and how to properly screen them as well as how to deal with inherited tenants when purchasing existing rental properties. Either way if you are managing rental properties or plan to some day, this is the best book on the market to learn and or expand your existing knowledge on Managing Rental Properties. I currently have 11 rentals and after reading this book I plan on making massive changes to how I manage the people and the properties and this will set me up for success. Excellent book! 5 Stars. Highly recommend this to all Investors managing rental properties. ... show more

  • Useful fundamentals, but management is learned in the doing
Format: Paperback
A useful and well-organized guide to the operational side of owning rental property. It covers tenant screening, leases, maintenance, communication, systems, and many of the recurring issues landlords actually have to manage. The strongest message for me is that successful rental ownership depends on consistent operations. Buying the property is only the beginning. Protecting its value requires good maintenance, clear expectations, documentation, and the willingness to deal with small problems before they become expensive ones. Having managed rental properties myself, some of the material felt fairly basic and real situations are inevitably messier than any handbook can capture. Still, it provides a strong framework, particularly for a new landlord trying to build good habits from the beginning. A good reference to have on the shelf—even after experience becomes the better teacher. ... show more

Great book. I’m glad I own it and I can read it anytime. I wanna pick it up again. I really like the templates they give you in the back of the book.

  • Well Written Book.
Format: Paperback
Heather and Brandon Turner wrote this book, very well. These are their own writings, you’ll notice a handful of misspellings inside the book. I certainly was not looking for a book that was by professional writer. I wanted a book by people, sharing their experience in the business. This book is perfect. 15 chapters and over 350 pages of experience. Not from lawyers, not from contractors, not from tenants, but Professional landlords. They stuck to what they dealt with, and I feel they have conquered. They’re not gonna tell you how to fix wear & tear. But they will advise you on contractors. They’re not gonna take you through Microsoft Word or Excel, but they’ll tell you what you need to do on it. They’re not gonna give you specific mortgage financing advice, they want you to know the things that unsuccessful landlords haven’t been able to achieve. They’re not going to discuss advanced cash flow calculations. They will give you confidence that this business is very doable. ... show more
