I truly felt this book was a gem. I read it non-stop for two days. It contains many different tenant scenarios with solutions as well as the author’s experiences, which are all very useful. it takes you from beginning to end in that the author explains the importance of things like thorough cleaning before showing (granted you know this but sometimes you think well they will understand if I am right in the middle of getting it ready!… they do not), first impressions and such and even pet agreements (like meeting the pet itself before the lease signing to see how it acts) and taking a picture of the pet so the tenant cannot play switch on you (which they do). It gave lots of practical advice as well and what may or may not stand up in court. This guide was also very helpful in that I no longer have to search the internet when I need a form for something. It also gives the new landlord confidence in their ability to rent out and manage their properties. I have even passed on tips to professional property managers and they found it useful too! I loved it! GREAT FIND! Well worth the money.

This is a great book for those just starting out and those who’ve been doing property management for a while. Its a great reference to keep around and the CD has lots of good stuff too. I’m glad I bought this…I threw out many of my other book!
