In their words
What readers say
I have a city home and a cottage waterfront property. This extremely insightful book not only enlightened areas that I had never considered but actually already has a check list to all the points I as renter had missed. This book reads like a property management Ted Talk with lists. I will definitely be using this book as a reference to up my ratings as a property owner.
