I thought this book would give me guidance with regards to finding the right apartment, things to look for when visiting the apartment, reading leases, negotiating leases and calculating rent and expenses.

What this book did do was calculate a budget while factoring a tithe to the church, mention the importance of finding an apartment reasonably close to the church and/or church activities. So, if you want "bible," "God" or "Jesus" specifically named in your lease, or you plan on renting from your Pastor/Church Elder please feel free to read this book.

If you want real-world advice on renting an apartment, don't bother with this 50-page pamphlet. Try "The Savvy Renter's Kit" by Ed Sacks, instead.

I thought this would be a brief guide to the US renatl market, instead it turned out to be religious propaganda with little if any value as a guide to renting.

Save a tree (well a twig - since it is a pretty small book) and buy an alternative book.

This book is wonderful for first time renters and you will be blessed by the spiritual insights also. Another great Larry Burkett book!
