ABOUT THIS BOOK

USER REVIEWS

Some uncommon common sense
~ Written on Aug 20, 2007. 1 out of 1 users found this review helpful.

This book is written succinctly about property management. There is no lull or fluff. As a real estate investor and developer, I've got notes all over the book as Melissa Prandi makes the uncommon common as there is a LOT involved with proper management. Managing rental property is not as easy as it sounds and the author sheds light and ideas all throughout.
Buy this book as the smallest management correction may be your biggest savings. It was for me in having roommates fill out applications (big headache and dorm room prior).

Must Read For New Landlords

There are tons of landlord books, but many of them are boring to read or leave out important advice that new landlords need to know about. Melissa's book is easy to read and full of great ideas. My copy is bursting at the seams with sticky notes for things I need to do.

Going Back to Bacis and Then Some

This book brings you back to the basics and then gives you tips GALORE. You can tell this book was written from first hand day to day experiences of being in the business daily. Her tips are great and I found quite useful. I think this book is a good one to keep nearby so when you forget the professional tips you can bring out the book to refresh your memory. I think this book is great for property managers and investors new and seasoned.
I found this book easy to follow and great to refer to for all aspects in the business. You can read it and be familiar prior to purchasing property too.

Easy to read book for new investors
~ Written on Oct 25, 2005. 7 out of 8 users found this review helpful.

This book covers the basics with a few novel ideas. Many of the ideas are common sense. A property manager would do well if he/she followed the ideas in this book. I recommend this book for a first time buyer of income property. The book does have some information on the long-term strategic management of a portfolio of properties. Both new and experienced investors sometime lack that type of thinking.
