Description
The First 90 Days Landlord System™
A Step-by-Step Operating Manual for New US Landlords
Owning a rental property can be rewarding, but becoming a landlord involves much more than collecting rent and fixing occasional maintenance problems.
New landlords must manage property preparation, insurance, banking, tenant screening, fair-housing considerations, leases, rent collection, maintenance, security deposits, vendor coordination, emergency situations, taxes and recordkeeping.
Without a proper system, small mistakes can become expensive problems.
The First 90 Days Landlord System gives new landlords and small real estate investors a structured roadmap for building a professional rental-property operation from the ground up.
This comprehensive digital guide takes you through the critical stages of your first 90 days—from pre-closing preparation to placing your first tenant and running your rental system with greater organization and confidence.
