5.0 out of 5 stars Great reference, September 8, 2000

I read an earlier edition of this book several years ago. As a landlord with over 20 years in the business, I can confidently say that this book should be required reading for anyone who is even thinking of having any rental property, whether its a basement apartment or a multi-plex. A good read for apartment dwellers as well, will give you some idea of what your landlord is dealing with.

5.0 out of 5 stars Helpful points, March 23, 2002

By	Peter Imes (Austin, TX United States) - See all my reviews

Interested in purchasing rental property, I picked this book up the other day. It is not a "make millions in real estate" book but a down-to-earth book written for the commen person interested in buying a couple of properties. The author tells you what he prefers to do but provides information on other options, and he always seems to point out little ways to save money. The advice seems sound and covers everything from finding a property to financing to rent collection. He covers the pros and cons of using management companies and gives the reader ideas on how to make their property more attractive to tenants. Highly recommended.
