 Nothing for Condos December 2, 2007
5 out of 8 found this review helpful
Although I knew this book was written for rental property management and not condos, I hoped it would have at least a couple chapters of overlap that condo property managers could use. Even though I have not been a condo property manager (I rented property in the past), I got nothing out of this book. The author of this book took the title too seriously. It seems written for people who have no understanding of rental property management in this country. Take a close look at the table of contents before getting this book. I just ordered Be A Successful Property Manager by Woodson, Roger.

This book provided a great starting point for me. Guiding me in a good direction. I eventually contacted Talley Properties http://www.TalleyProperties.com for my management needs.
 Read it, didn't do it June 8, 2007
10 out of 15 found this review helpful
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.
 Terrific for those just starting out... March 9, 2007

As a newbie in the world of real estate investment and property management, I found this book tremendously helpful. It is easy to read, contains a number of sample documents (just wish they were available on CD or online), and takes you through the process from beginning to end. Although the entire book is informative, I found the chapters on preparing your rental property, generating interest, and handling prospects/showing the rental, to be particularly useful for me as I get started. As a person new to this field, I find myself sometimes not even knowing the right questions to ask, or the right things to consider. Mr. Griswold covers it all in detail, and this helped me to visualize what the experience will be like. Case in point, the telephone interview check sheet, guides you through what questions to ask of the potential tenant, so that you can determine if this person may or may not be a good candidate, before taking things further. Why waste their time, or yours? This is just one example of the many tips and guidelines available in this book.
Very good resource November 10, 2006

This is an easy-to-read resource that provides a good basis of knowledge for the aspiring property manager. It's a great place to start if you have no idea what else to do. It should have come with a CD with all of the forms that it mentions, but that's a minor gripe.
