3.0 out of 5 stars Great Book .. BUT,,,,, November 3, 2007
By 
This review is from: Landlording on Auto-Pilot: A Simple, No-Brainer System for Higher Profits and Fewer Headaches (Paperback)
I thought this was one of the best books on managing people and investment assets that I have read. However, one of the primary reasons that I bought the book was for the forms. I should have checked the website first I guess. When I went to download my free forms I was not pleased. First, the links in the books didn't work, I had to hunt and peck my way through several websites to find a "free form" download page. Then I am provided a buton to click to buy the forms in a convienent package for $80. Or I can complete a form with my info to get them emailed to me one at a time. I would have to complete the form for each form I want emailed to me. Then I see that they are charging for specific forms that they state are free in the book.

All in all the book was a good value. I feel however that the Free Forms was a bait and switch and it will prevent me form purchasing any items from Mike Butler in the future. I did email his company form the contact form on the website. All that got me was a barage of spam email from them on seminars, software etc.... I am hoping that I will get somewhere with them and then I can update this review.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great book!!!, October 25, 2006

This review is from: Landlording on Auto-Pilot: A Simple, No-Brainer System for Higher Profits and Fewer Headaches (Paperback)
We purchased this book right about the time we were buying our first rental property. It was worth every penny and some. It's an easy read - you feel like you're just having a good heart-to-heart with someone who's been there and done that. Mike's advice will save you from making beginner mistakes and point you in the right direction every time. His advice is sound and he brings up many items that the first-time rental property owner would never think of.

What's as good is the fact that after reading the book you are given websites where you can download free forms - which I must say has saved us HOURS.

If you are just beginning in the rental property business or have not seemed to have much luck - I say this a MUST-READ!!!!

1/2/09 - We were one of the first to purchase this book - and the first to post a review. At the time, the forms, although kind of tricky to download, were free. However, it does seem like Mike is trying to make money from webinars, seminars, etc...and it doesn't surprise me he is now charging for the forms. That was one of the main reasons I gave the book 5 stars - the free forms made it worth everything. I didn't want anyone to think I had misled them initially.

2.0 out of 5 stars Landlording On Auto Pilot, March 18, 2008
This review is from: Landlording on Auto-Pilot: A Simple, No-Brainer System for Higher Profits and Fewer Headaches (Paperback)
This book has great ideas, however; it promises forms that every landlord needs. They are very difficult to download from the website & you have to pay to get them in the end.

What's more, is it's all to get you to his website so he can sell you everything under the sun from web seminars to packets of his forms and they are all very pricey.

It seems to me that all he cares about is getting huge amounts of money.

It's not unlike a high pressure infomercial.

For me, I won't be buying anything from him again.
