The Property Management Tool Kit

The Property Management Tool Kit goes beyond the basics, giving you all the guidance, you need to successfully manage your properties, avoid pitfalls, and make a profit.

Making money through real estate investments isn't as simple as buying up property and hoping for the best -- you must know what you're doing. The fact is, how you manage a property directly affects how profitable it will be.

In this book, you'll find out how to:

• Add value to your property, including which improvements to make or avoid
• Address legal concerns, tenant issues, and administration and maintenance
• Handle monetary factors such as cash flow, record-keeping, and rent collection
• Expand your portfolio and establish financial goals
• Hire a team, partner with vendors, and use advertising

In addition, you'll find helpful management tools: a market survey; rental criteria; and sample documents and forms, including a rental application, a lease, a guest screening card, rules and regulations, renewals, a vacancy report, a maintenance log, and much more.

Practical and informative, The Property Management Tool Kit is the one book you need to successfully manage your properties.
