Secrets of a Millionaire Landlord

Rating:
Summary: A landlord book that's not based on today's reality.
Review: Although Shemin brings up many good ideas, I found that most of his ideas are way to cheezy for me (or Southern california.) He discusses buying places for $8,000-$20,000 (I wish) and believes that charging more for rent will ultimately get you higher quality tenents. I completely disagree, especially in down markets.

A decent book, overall, but I'd suggest a Nolo book which has more real legal information as well as solid do's and don'ts for a landlord.

Summary: some great new landlording ideas
Review: As a landlord with over 500 units under management I found this book to have some very practical and profitable ideas that I have not seen anywhere else. Shemins' tips on screening,lease-optioning, and repair policies are current,innovative and have helped me make more money. Though, this book is not a legal guide ther is some importatnt information about fair housing that many landlords are not aware of. This is a must read book for any landlord with 1 to 10000 properties. There is also some great forms in the book.

Summary: Became a landlord because of this book
Review: People hate being landlords generally because they have not established proper business policy and proceedures. Robert Shemin's experiences are varied, and he's developed systems, policy and proceedures from thw hardest areas to landlord, and that is low income tenants. He's known for helping honmeless people buy homes. If your just getting started, and you establish the policies and proceedures outlined in this book, you'll avoid a lot of head aches, have happy tenants, and have a good solid business.

I do however think that Robert should right a book entitled "The Adventures of a Millionaire Landlord", this guy has seen and experienced it all, the good, the bad, and the downright ugly.

It's a fun read, not boring, lots of common sense. Robert is not afraid to think outside the box.

Summary: Became a landlord because of this book
Review: The tips given in this book will save you thousands of dollars worth of preventive action and good practices. I cannot over-emphasize how important it is to read this book before diving into the world of self-managed rental property. Not only that but the author also provides sample forms, contracts, etc. Many real-life examples of what can happen if you don't do it the right way. Covers just about everything in a concise and organized manner.
