Summary: Excellent Reference
Comment: Well organized, easy to read, and includes many useful examples.

As a beginner to the rental real estate business, I was looking for a good reference to help me take advantage of current Landlord Tax Law. This book was everything I hoped for and more.

Note: If you already understand tax law concepts like the various ways to deduct depreciation and cash vs. accrual accounting methods, perhaps parts of the book will seem too "simple" but it's likely you will still benefit from reading it.

Customer Rating:

Summary: Very Informative
Comment: This book is a wealth of information for a Landlord. I highly recommend it.

Customer Rating:

Summary: Indespensible
Comment: This is a really necessary book for anyone going into the renting business. Yes, it does seem like homework when you're slogging through it, but it really is readable, and extremely useful. I'm an accountant but never spent much study time on landlord tax law, but now find myself in need of that info.
Highly recommended, if only to maximize your deductions, and avoid traps.
