This review is from: Breaking All the Rules: How to Rent Your Vacation Home in Any Market, Including Welcome Book, 2nd Edition (Paperback)

Before reading Marie's book, we had no idea on how to rent our vacation home. Now we feel confident and excited about renting out our second home. Great advertising and marketing ideas. This book contains lot of information from start to finish, nothing was missed. Marie answered all of the questions we had. Looking forward to using her Mobile Bookkeeper as well. And, we like the fact that we can contact her with questions at anytime.
