Product Description

Book Helps Landlords Find Good Renters

Given the recent sluggishness of the stock market, real estate investment is hotter than ever. And profitable property investment generally means finding suitable renters, which is often easier said than done. When property owner and landlord Don Conrad searched for a resource to aid in his own search for tenants, he was unable to find one that focused solely on finding the right people to occupy his properties. So this first-time author took matters into his own hands and wrote How to Find That Quality Tenant: The Five Simple Steps of Tenant Selection.

"There have been many books written on how to get rich owning rental real estate," says Conrad. "But I could find nothing on how to find good tenants to occupy properties once they were purchased." He goes on to explain that most books have only brief chapters on finding suitable renters, and the information provided is frequently shallow and weak.

How to Find That Quality Tenant provides a proven yet simple plan for tenant selection. "I've come up with a system that works exceptionally well," says Conrad. "Since I've been in this business, I've never had a tenant vandalize my property. I've never had one skip in the night. I've never been threatened. It took more than twelve years before I had to finally start an eviction process, and they even cleaned the place before they left."

This unique book concentrates only on finding good tenants--no other aspects of real estate investment are covered--and it is intended to be used as a hands-on, step-by-step guide. "Use what you need in step one; then proceed on to step two. Complete step two; then move on to three. By the time you've started step five, you should have a tenant of higher quality and more suited to your needs than before you read this book," explains Conrad.

The author emphasizes that the system was developed by a small-time landlord to help the small-time landlord. The beginner property owner--the person who has a few properties to supplement their retirement--will benefit most, but experienced landlords will gain new insight from the book as well.

5.0 out of 5 stars A must have addition to any landlord's library, June 8, 2008
By S. Crook (Indiana USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This book is truely one of a kind. I've read many other books on investment real estate and none of them cover the process of finding good reliable tenants in the depth that Conrad does in his book. The book is written in an easy to read, conversational style and covers every step along the road to finding a renter from the first time you talk to a potential tenant on the phone to lease signing. The forms that Conrad uses in the book are freely available on his website (www.findthatqualitytenant.com) along with a number of other free real estate investment information. For all these reasons I believe that this book is a must have for any landlord or person thinking about becoming a landlord.

5.0 out of 5 stars A no-nonsense guide to avoiding tenant problems, September 5, 2007
By Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews
Real estate professional Don Conrad presents How to Find That Quality Tenant: The 5 Simple Steps to Tenant Selection, a no-nonsense guide to avoiding tenant problems packed cover to cover with everything a landlord needs to know. Chapters discuss how to attract renters by preparing the dwelling and writing honest yet eye-catching advertisements; qualify renters through use of a simple form; weed out unsuitable prospects via telephone; use and analyze a credit report; use paperwork to vette a potential tenant's past rental history and current cash flow, and much more. "The cosigner may not want to fill out a Rental Application, but legally he or she needs to fill one out so you can check his or her credit. I advise you to have the cosigner fill out an application even if you decide not to run a credit check. The reason for this is that with a filled-out application, you now have more leads if you need contacts to help you locate or gather information on a problem tenant. If you find the situation worth a cosigner, the situation is worth that cosigner filling out an application and credit report." Highly recommended.
