Publisher Description

Here is Landlording 101 for new rental-property owners who are first-time landlords as a result of an inheritance, a divorce, a move to a new house, buying a duplex and renting out the extra unit, a purchase for a family member (an elderly parent or college-student child), or buying a rental property as an investment.

Many listeners who could use this audiobook are not only first-timers but accidental landlords who took on the task because they inherited a property or couldn't sell their house at a decent price and so are renting it out. This book is for the millions of people who rent out single-family homes and condos (not multi-unit apartment buildings) while typically balancing a day job with landlording responsibilities. The intended audience is novice landlords who need basic business and legal advice on renting out and managing rental properties - a different audience from landlords who consider themselves professional real-estate investors.

"Basic stuff, especially about the financial aspect. But there are good lists of what yo expect, how to evict, how to choose a property manager, etc. They also recommend books (by the same publisher) to cover the gappy topics more in depth."

    " No plot, no characters, no action. Loved it for it's artlessness. Truly existential, concrete, anti-romantic and no mention of deities nor paths to enlightenment, only ways to spend and save money when you're the landlord. Yes, and how to be kind and fair to renters, of course. "

    " A good first-book for people considering renting out a property. If you do decide to rent, you'll probably want to refer to it again. It also mentions websites and other books (especially from NOLO, which helped create this book) where additional information can be found. "

    " The most comprehensive of the landlording books I've read so far. "
