Every real estate investor has to start somewhere. The first steps are often the hardest. The desire to start your real estate investing journey is strong, but there are many unknowns: How do I avoid overpaying? What if I buy a house with an expensive issue? What if my tenants stop paying rent and trash the place? How do I get a mortgage? How can I find a real estate agent I can trust?

This book is written with all the information you’d get from picking a veteran landlord’s brain for a few hours over coffee or an adult beverage. Step-by-step we’ll go through the process from deciding if this is for you, to getting your finances in order, to buying your first property, to renovating that purchase, to advertising, screening, and selecting your first tenant, to managing that tenant, to turning over your unit for the next tenant, to selling your property when you’re ready to retire in comfort.

Full of real-world examples and tales from a life in the trenches as a landlord, you’ll find this an easy read that answers questions you didn’t know you have.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very helpful book for new landlords
Reviewed in the United States on May 1, 2022
I read this book because I had decided to rent out my house, rather than sell it, when I moved to a different part of the country. I have no experience as a landlord and needed an overview of the process and the possible pitfalls. The author provided the information I needed through a summary of the steps involved in purchasing, repairing, renting, and managing properties as well as the unhappy possibility of evicting tenants.

Champaign tells stories about his own experience as a landlord to make his point and provides summaries of each topic at the end of the relevant chapter. Although I thought he was too hard on tenants at first -- he often tends to take an adversarial tone, I found that I appreciated his perspective the more that I learned from his direct experience. The author has invested in rental properties in both the U.S. and in Canada.

I'd highly recommend the book to anyone considering investing in rental properties or to someone like me who finds himself an unexpected landlord.
