Great book for a new landlord.

This book was well written and organized, it explained things in an easy to read manner. Most of all it taught me so much. I purchased my first single-family rental and spent a great deal on repairs in order to get it available for lease. I have always done my own accounting using Quickbooks as well as Quicken but I had so many tax questions. When I sought out a CPA I was told that it would cost me $200 per hour for questions, or $500 to $1500 to do my taxes. Ouch! This book is very complex but it is also very detailed and uses examples which help a lot. I can see now why CPA's get paid so well as there is a lot to learn. I feel so much more confident now as I go forward, so many questions have been answered. Thanks for a great tax book on rentals! Read more
