Review

"I wish I had this book before I made all of my expensive property management mistakes! In this book Brandon and Heather Turner have covered the biggest challenges for landlords and solved each one with nifty, step-by-step systems. I literally gave the information in Chapter 6 on tenant prescreening to my own team and said 'use this!' It's that good." --Chad Carson, coachcarson.com --This text refers to an alternate kindle_edition edition.

5.0 out of 5 stars GREAT Rental Property Reference Book for Landlords Who Want to Manage Their Own Property
Reviewed in the United States on July 5, 2016
Verified Purchase
Purchased The Book on Managing Rental Properties back in April 2016 and have read it two or three times and find myself using it as a reference guide. I have owned rental property since the late 1990s and thought I knew all there was to know about managing rental property. I was wrong. This book offers a new perspective and practical advice. The book is absolutely correct -- "No matter how great you are at finding good rental property deals, you could lose everything if you don’t manage your properties correctly!"

There are so many great tips that can be gleaned from reading this book:
**Potential Tenant Questionnaire
**Tennant Referral Bonus $100
**Recommendation on a tenant's rental income should be equal to at least three times the monthly rent
**Tennant Qualifying Standards
**Anyone over 18 years of age must fill out an application if they live in the residence (very good advice)
**How to get your property ready to rent
**Fair Housing Laws
**How to market your property to get the most qualified applicants
**The application process and why it is important to do a background and credit check -- red flags to look for
**How to manage tenants and every day transactions.
**The world of contractors and how to deal with them.
**Organizational structure of the rental property business
**The landlord business

Being a landlord is not an easy job if you are not well informed on "how" to manage rental property. I found this book to be a very comprehensive book on managing rental property. I have since purchased additional books from these authors and those associated with the Bigger Pockets website.

My first experience as a landlord, over 20 years ago of a 5 unit in Upstate NY was nothing short of a disaster. Had I been able to read this book then, I would have avoided a ton of mistakes and not been scared away from landlording for over a decade.

This book gives all the basics, as well as bonus web content and state specific resources as well. If you are thinking about moving into rentals as a business, this book is a good choice for you.

I always love their books about real estate investment. This is the third book from these incredible couple that I read. Very useful tips and covers all aspects of property management. Most importantly, their words give you courage and consolation. Only thing is this only covers US situation, if you want know about Canadian regulations and laws, you have to search yourself. But the techniques and ideas of managing included here are incredible and worth learning very much.

I liked how the author is actually doing what he's saying. So I'm getting direct knowledge of someone who's in the trade. However, I don't like how he pushes one to check out bigger pockets website many times throughout the book. However, I understand that's how he gets paid.
