Product Description
Take a look through the Forbes annual issue of the richest Americans, and you will find a majority of those personal fortunes have something to do with real estate. Real estate rental income rarely experiences wild swings in value, instead providing predictable returns at many times the rate of money market accounts or CDs. In addition, there can be substantial tax advantages as well. However, being the landlord can be difficult, time consuming, and potentially wrought with financial and legal obstacles. This new book will make the process of managing your rental properties easier. This new book and companion CD-ROM will teach you how to avoid headaches, hassles, and lawsuits by learning how to professionally manage your rental property. Maximize your profits and minimize your risks. Learn about advertising, tenant screening, managing tenants, legal rights, landlord rights, discrimination, vacancies, essential lease clauses, crime prevention, drugs, gangs, security issues, as well as premises liability, security deposits, handling problems, evictions, maintenance, recordkeeping, and taxes. The CD-ROM contains dozens of forms, sample contracts, letters, notices, rental applications, agreements and checklists. It includes topics such as evicting irresponsible tenants, collecting damages, running multiple properties, handling complaints, emergency procedures, expenses, and utility management. We spent thousands of hours interviewing and e-mailing real estate property managers and investors. This book is a compilation of their secrets and proven successful ideas. If you are interested in learning hundreds of hints, tricks, and secrets on how to make money (or more money) on managing your rental properties, then this book is for you. Instruction is great, but advice from experts is even better, and the experts chronicled in this book earn $1,000 to $300,000 per month managing rental properties.

Informative, Useful, and Easy to Understand.......2006-11-09
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.......2006-11-02
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!.......2006-10-13
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.
A Rental Management Must.......2006-10-05
This book is written for those who are currently involved in the search for and ownership of rental property. The chapter dedicated to acquiring rental property covers financing and loans, various types of mortgage loans, other types of finance, and what to look for during a pre-purchase inspection. The chapter also stresses the importance of finding the right real estate agent, lawyer, accountant, and financial advisor.
Also included with the purchase of the book is a CD-ROM featuring pre-written forms, agreements, letters, and legal notices. Samples of the documents are also included in the book, such as a tenant information letter and a rental agreement violation letter. Legal documents are often intimidating and difficult to understand in one reading. I found the inclusion of these documents allowed me to review, research, and understand each document at my own pace.
The information presented in this book will allow a rental property manager to become pro-active rather than reactive, preventing small problems from becoming sticky situations. I recommend this book to anyone involved in the rental property management industry interested in simplifying and streamlining their business.
Comprehensive, well-written, and useful guide.......2006-08-22
Did you know that December is the worst month to rent property? And that the best months are June and July? If you are a property manager, The Rental Property Manager's Tool Box is an essential reference and serves as a powerful tool in your management belt!
The Rental Property Management's Tool Box is a highly readable and comprehensive guide to successful property management, whether employed by a firm, self-employed, or anyone thinking of starting a career in the lucrative field of property management. Useful case studies serve to further bolster the well-researched information explained in the chapter.
The ten chapters of this book extensively cover the course of managing property, beginning with a thorough explanation of the role and function of property management. The book provides a current and historical definition of property managers and its place in the field of real estate. A special mention is made on the professional stature of managers in the field, as well as professional associations that wield great influence on the profession.
While the responsibilities of the property manager are discussed in great detail, The Rental Property Manager's Tool Box does a superb job of explaining the legal, financial, and marketing responsibilities that fall on the property manager's shoulders. Though not always in the property manager's purview, a conscientious property manager develops these skills in order to yield the maximum investment return on rental properties.
Chapter 7 enumerates the many contractors and service providers that a property manager encounters in his career, and discusses many ways to cultivate special relationships with all. Two substantial chapters are devoted to tenants--how to identify viable tenants, and what to do when tenants become problematic--are especially useful for anyone that deals with rental property.
User-friendly in nature with easy to read text and layout, the book is also illustrated and includes a very useful glossary, providing over fifty pages of property management terms as well as an extensive selection of sample rental agreements and most commonly-used forms. They are easily reproduced as a handy CD is provided as part of the book package. The book also has an easy to use index, providing quick access to the book's range of subjects and topics.

compliance handbook.......2001-05-11
For anyone whose job entails understanding environmental law, this book is essential. The authors cover a wide range of federal environmental law, from hazardous waste to endangered species, and they do it in a format that is easy to utilize.
Unlike many other handbooks, the authors clearly state their objectives in the first chapter, then proceed to carry out their plan. The book is organized into logical chapters with many divisions so not to overwhelm the reader. The writing style is clear and concise.
Admittedly, the authors explain the limitations of a book that only focuses on federal law, but there are plenty of state environmental law handbooks to fill any gaps. It is up to the user to find supplemental works that cover what this book does not.
All told, this book ought to be the standard in its field for years to come, at least until a new batch of environmental laws renders it obsolete.
