Synopsis

Named one of the best business books by "Library Journal", "The Landlord's Handbook" is a proven hands-on guide. The authors instruct landlords in the use of active management techniques to maximize their tax deductions and increase their bottom lines. All the details landlords need to master are outlined in simple, intelligible terms.

About this title

From Library Journal:

Goodwin and Rusdorf offer practical advice aimed at individuals planning to invest in residential real estate. The authors assume readers have no prior knowledge of rental practices and thus provide novices with an excellent compendium of them. Among the topics covered are screening of potential tenants, insurance coverage for properties, and necessary accounting procedures. The numerous sample forms included are also helpful. A valuable work. On a very different topic, Hoover offers to real estate professionals what he calls the "unexplained secrets" of successful real estate salespeople. Unfortunately, the secrets remain so, because what the author provides are largely motivational generalizations. The "secrets" turn out to be examples of personal techniques that have limited application. As an example of the frustrating lack of follow-through in this book, computers are recommended for greater productivity but little specific data about applications is provided. Some useful tips on goal setting may be helpful to beginners but, all in all, this is not recommended.
