Synopsis

**Winner of 2013 USA Best Book Award**

Terry Sprouse, author of "Fix em Up Rent em Out," and co-author Angy Sprouse, share their secrets on turning a home into a rental house!

According to the "American Association of Realtors," the average American purchases seven houses during their lifetime. Real estate investors Terry and Angy Sprouse believe that those seven houses should be converted into rental houses and held for the rest of our lives. They are valuable assets that will generate monthly income for the hard years to come, and provide further assurance of long-term economic family security.

Like the old folktale says: "Don't kill the goose that lays the golden eggs." 

The book describes:

• where to find the best properties, 
• how to pay for your houses, 
• property inspection, 
• the nitty-gritty steps on how to prepare your new rental house for tenants, 
• how to attract and screen tenants,
•  managing tenants, 
• complying with EPA regulations,
• samples of leases, 
• property inspection sheets, 
• tenant selection rating sheets, 
• and many other valuable forms to get you started in your rental house business.

About this title

About the Author

Terry and Angy Sprouse have been involved in real estate since 2001. They live in Tucson., Arizona with their two sons, and with Blackie the Wonder Dog & Tabby the egotistical cat.
 
In their spare time, they like to take the dog walking, spoil the cat, and attempt to keep up with their sons' nonstop teen-related activities.
 
Their wish for the future is that the cat will stop stepping on their heads while they are trying to sleep.

From the Back Cover

What do millionaires do that most people don't do?

Go into politics?
Buy their own Starbucks?
Become a bearded recluse?

Well, those are some of the things they do, but according to Thomas Stanley, in The Millionaire Next Door, most American millionaires own their own houses, and they own at least one rental property.

Our perspective is, "If it works for millionaires, it ought to work for us too."

Our fondest hope is that this book will inspire you to buy a rental property and to receive the enormous benefits from that one bold action.

Even if you buy just one rental property throughout the course of your entire life, your economic picture will almost immediately get better. You will wonder, as we did, "Why didn't we do this a long time ago?"
