The Property Management for Dummies book was just what I needed. It is written in a clear, sensible way AND the index helped me get to the subjects I needed quickly.

We were looking at the possibility of purchasing a rental home for the first time. I felt this gave us quite a bit of very useful information & was easy to understand. However, we did not end up with the rental home we thought. We did not realize that an insurance coverage on a rental property built in 1950 would be so much! However, we fould out the hard way that the plumbing & electricity must have documentation saying they have been updated & when. It also helps to have a brick home over a woodframe. There were only 2 companies out of about 20 that we called who would even consider insuring the home & at that they wanted about twice as much as I pay on my homestead. The book didn’t warn us about that, but was pretty good in describing the laws & procedures involved in purchasing, maintaining, and renting a property.
