The New No-Nonsense Landlord

Book excerpt: This work covers a realistic, hard-nosed real-estate investment programme, designed to propel novices and pros to financial independence via savvy rental-housing management. Revised to reflect the current post-real-estate-boom-era realities, this edition covers every aspect of the landlording process, from buying, finances, tax matters and sweat equity to managing fixer-uppers, handling the tenant-landlord relationship and finding hidden gems in rural real estate. Numerous photographs, including a new apartment complex rehab series, complement the text's focus on becoming a successful landlord.
