Reddit mentions of The Book on Managing Rental Properties: A Proven System for Finding, Screening, and Managing Tenants With Fewer Headaches and Maximum Profit (BiggerPockets Rental Kit 3)

this book costs $10 and teaches you more than that garbage course

I've been a landlord for a few years, and a few months ago a friend suggested the bigger pocket's book on renting, and I found it to be a great primer on what to do: many of them are things I had already figured out by trial and error, but others that were new to me but great ideas.


If you do get it, I'd recommend a hard copy, not a kindle version, since there are sample forms and things that are useful to have in a physical, printed format.

I don't have a specific recommendation; you might just start at the beginning. The production quality goes up over time, but most of the content is always valid. I think the main takeaway is there are so many styles of investing - you need to find what works for you and your goals. We own and rent nice condos because we have capital and are mainly concerned with creating passive cashflow. We're also committed to managing the properties ourselves. Part of that is for cost savings, but also a way to force the skills acquisition we need to be real estate investors.
