The Landlord’s Guide to the Internet

I tried to sell my home a week before the banks crashed. To allow me to move on, I decided to rent it out. I have sucessfully rented the property (with no vacant months) for over four years. In that time I’ve searched the internet high and low for lease agreements, tips on dealing with problems and discovered how to market the property for free. I’ve learned by trial and error how to use the internet (and when not to) for all aspects of property rental.

My book can help you to:

1. Quickly find free rental agreements

2. Eradicate vacant months and reduce your time-to-let gap

3. Screen tenants with advertising to increase efficiency

4. Discover no-cost offline advertising tricks for a higher profile

5. Find the right tenants with call scipts and reference check techniques
