“Fix  Em Up Rent Em Out”

By Terry Sprouse

Read page 84 on “The Five Rules on How to Lose Money and get your Rental Property trashed by Tenants” as it may bring reminders or tears of your own experiences as a landlord.  As a property owner, I am the “frugal” one, and my husband is the all out spender- top of the line everything guy. I gave him the book for his birthday!!! It’s easier to hear from an expert.

 Knowing how to get bids on repairs and what repairs and improvements make a difference are very insightful. This book focuses many how to’s that can keep you out of trouble.

I recommend it for those contemplating buying investment property in this market, and for those who are currently landlords. Today’s market is different, and harder economic times means you need to cross your “t”s and dot your “i”s.  There is more profit and risk at stake.

More families are renting now and facing economic hardship so it behooves you as a landlord not to take his contract and remodeling tips into consideration. Sprouse teaches you how to protect and grow your investment.

He has a great sense of humor in explaining his concepts as to why you should invest in fix up homes and helps teach you the “rules of the game.”  

His tax and refinance information are useful and easy to comprehend.

 He includes useful websites and reference materials to give you more advanced knowledge.

I hope he writes on contractors- how to choose them and how to get them to finish the job! I will be the first in line for a copy.

I received a complimentary review copy.
