More than a property management guide, 2007-02-26
From the title, you might think this is just another guide to managing rental properties. While it certainly is that, it's also much more. The author begins with a discussion of entrepreneurship and real estate, pointing out that real estate investors are entrepreneurs by the nature of what they do.
After explaining a variety of investment vehicles, Rider boils it down: "You have to buy into the idea that the single best asset you can have related to any real estate investment is a solid, rent-paying tenant." He describes how to manage and maintain both residential and commercial properties, beginning with a thorough explanation of land use regulations which dictate what developers can do with property and then how owners and tenants can use it.

This book is rich with charts, lists, and illustrations. Rider's own experience validates his information and advice. Throughout the book, Rider includes definitions in boxes to further explain the terms he is using (in addition to a comprehensive glossary). Readers will also appreciate his "Heads Up" notes with warnings and alerts.
Rider takes complicated issues and makes them easy to understand. While he doesn't discuss how to market for tenants, he does give clear advice for negotiating lease terms and maintaining your relationship with tenants once you have them. Great Big Book for Landlords and Property Managers: The Care and Keeping of Tenants is a must for any serious real estate investor's library.
