First-Time Landlord

Your Guide to Renting out a Single-Family Home

About this book

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 obtain easily digested information on 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.
