This book contains practical, hands-on advice that shows the reader how to do it without property management companies, and keep 100 percent of the profits.

This book provides excellent advise on having a succesful rental vacation home. I highly recommend it. Christine covers all aspects of renting vacation properties.


5 out of 5 stars I wish I'd read this before   September 28, 2008

I wish I'd read this book before we bought a vacation rental. Lots of good information. And one piece of the information could save you thousands of $ and loads of grief.


4 out of 5 stars Tremendous Resource for Vacation Owners!   September 3, 2008
  1 out of 1 found this review helpful

As an owner and manager of several vacation properties, I was quite impressed with Kristine's thoroughness and attention to detail. This is a very read-able book, flows easily from topic to topic, and covers all the basics.

Of particular importance is her break-even analysis for figuring out the profitability of a rental before buying. Also, while I'm a do-it-yourself-vacation rental type owner, I realize most people prefer the ready-to-rent approach Ms. Karpinski advocates.

The Resources found in the Appendix sections at the end make this book a definite buy for any current or future vacation property owner. Kristine is a good teacher and presents well in both her books and blog.



5 out of 5 stars Finally Someone Talks About Insurance   April 23, 2008
  1 out of 1 found this review helpful

I was impressed with this book because most rental managers don't even discuss insurance or know anything about it. Yet, this book devotes several pages on this topic. So, If you got a vacation rental, or thinking about it like me, your common garden variety homeowners policy won't do. You got to pay twice or more on the premium for a vacation home.

We have just started to rent our vacation property by owner after having it done by a management company. This book has been extremely helpful in making the transition.
