Customer comments on this selection.
 The Rental Property Manager's Toolbox etc.
greetings! I purchased the CD. It had extensive information. I wanted a
program dealing with accounting for just a few properties. It would be
excellent for someone having a lot of properties. I returned the CD
unopened when I realized it was not want I needed. Amazon kindly gave a
refund.
very good but lacking...
The Rental Property Manager's Toolbox is very well written and a very nearly complete book for new landlords, but not quite. As a new and unwilling landlord this book was a great & definite help in overcoming a very steep learning curve and a great deal of ignorance on my part. But having said that, where's the lease? A number of forms are included but there is no boilerplate lease. Also, on page 152 under credit history no mention is given of any of the numerous websites that one can purportedly get credit information on prospective tenants. I had to take my chances on what I could find out myself and talked to two professional property managers, neither of whom get credit reports either. I had to go to a lawyer software program for 1 or 2 other items as well. A solid 4 star however!
 Informative, Useful, and Easy to Understand
Ms. Burrell does an excellent job of providing an informative yet concise look at the complex business of rental property management. This book is a must read for novice investors as it allows one to enter the business with eyes wide open - aware of pitfalls and precautions that can be taken to protect the investment. Alternatively, there are so many forms, examples, techniques, and tricks for the experienced manager that it is a great read for them as well. Truly a great resource for any RPMS library - or toolbox, as the case may be.
Make Yourself a Professional
I have a few rental properties that I've managed myself over the years, with some success, but I was looking to do better and acquired Jamaine Burrell's book to get some pointers. Her book, The Rental Property Manager's Toolbox does the trick!
The "Toolbox" has all the advice, tips, forms, and sample letters that one could possibly need to make the transition from an "amateur" rental property manager, like me, to a professional. I can see a number of areas in which I have not taken the best approach in the past (especially regarding unsupervised children) and believe that, following Burrell's advice, I can not only be a more effective manager but make more money too.
The book covers all the bases, including financial and legal issues, property acquisition options, advertising, finding and screening potential tenants, tenant problem and complaint management, and property sale, and also includes a CD with all of the forms discussed in the book. This is a great resource for anyone intending to get into property management or for anyone, like me, who has been managing properties without the benefit of professional advice.
Avoid unnecessary hassles, buy this book!
This book is a great resource for rental property owners and managers, whether this is your first project or your fiftieth. "The Rental Property Manager's Toolbox" has everything you need to be successful in owning or managing your own rental property.
This book will teach you tips and tricks for purchasing rental property, handling legal and tax issues, dealing with tenants, maintaining properties, and even selling properties if need be. Easy to read large type and conversational format ensure that the information is as clear cut as possible. For further clarity, Burrell provides a comprehensive glossary of terms. The easy-to-use table of contents and full index make searching for that special tidbit of information a breeze. Burell also includes a list of resources such as property management companies and several rental property owners.
Included with this book is a companion CD-ROM that contains useful forms in both MSWord and PDF format. The CD runs itself, so no technical knowledge needed.
