Description

First-Time Landlord, a consistent customer favorite, shows how to start a landlording business and maintain it in one's spare time.

Contains concise information on how to make money with a single-family home without getting into financial or legal hot water.

Readers will learn how to rent out a property lawfully and safely, assess profitability before buying or committing to renting a property, find good tenants (or deal with difficult ones), prepare and sign the lease, handle repairs and maintenance, comply with state laws, and when the time is right, sell at a profit.

With timely tips and true stories from successful landlords (including some who learned tough lessons along the way), First-Time Landlord is an indispensable book for property owners who want to rent out a single-family home.

Critical Reviews

"Robert Bruss Real Estate Book Silver Award". National Association of Real Estate Editors

"Portman, Bray, and Stewart write for people who rent out or want to rent out a single-family house or condominium and want to do most of the work themselves. Increasingly, they say, people become landlords suddenly and accidentally, and need to fit that work around existing work and family obligations. Their topics include preparing and marketing a rental property, managing rental income to maximize tax deductions, keeping things shipshape: repairs and maintenance, exiting the rental property business, and renting out a room in your home.." Eithne O'Leyne, Editor Ringgold, Inc. ProtoView

"Virtually every book from Nolo Press can be highly recommended without reservation." Robert Bruss, Nationally Syndicated Real Estate Columnist
