About this listen
Planning to rent out your residential property for the first time and want to know what it takes to become a successful landlord?
From the outside, being a landlord may look like an easy job. Once a month you greet your tenants, collect rent from them, and leave.
Being a landlord is not as simple as it seems. Just like tenants have their share of responsibilities, so do you as their landlord and property manager.
For first-time landlords, all of this can be very overwhelming.
You may be unsure of how far your tenants can go and how to set the right tone for acceptable behavior. You may also be uncertain about the best method to keep your paperwork, taxes, and insurance up-to-date and organized. A successful landlord is a great communicator, strict accountant, and fair judge–all at once. It really is a job for an all-round talent.
The good news is that once you get the hang of it, being a landlord can be an enjoyable experience that goes beyond the extra money you collect in rental payments every month. This hands-on guide touches on all matters of importance when it comes to renting out property so that you can become a successful and efficient landlord in no time.
Inside, you’ll discover:
- What it takes to be a successful property manager.
- How to attract grade-A tenants.
- How to have a chaos-free transition.
- Get your rental payments on time.
- How and when to increase rent.
- The most profitable tax write-offs.
- Templates and resources.
- How to deal with problem tenants.
And much more.
Being a landlord is a fantastic opportunity to generate a nearly passive income. You just have to ensure good systems are in place to make landlording a four hour a week job and not a 24-hour job–which can be challenging, especially for newbies. This book can help you achieve that.
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

It’s exhausting to live with your mind racing around from one dreadful possibility to the next, even when you know logically that a lot of these thoughts are unrealistic or at least unlikely. Logic quite often has nothing to do with it. It’s thinking that has got you into this mess, and more unhelpful thinking is simply not the answer. Unfortunately, it can be hard to stop once you get yourself into the spiral of overthinking. Your thoughts can get ahead of you, blocking you from your own mind and distracting you from what really matters.

I have discovered a group of women who refuse to be exploited, are immune to manipulation, and who never settle in the name of love. These ladies know what they want and take what they want by beating men at their own game. Utilizing the secrets exposed in this book, these women gain power, money, and status. Men call them gold diggers, women call them hos, but they call themselves winners. This is the book that society doesn't want you to listen to….

Story
Experience a bold take on this classic autobiography as it’s performed by Oscar-nominated Laurence Fishburne. In this searing classic autobiography, originally published in 1965, Malcolm X, the Muslim leader, firebrand, and Black empowerment activist, tells the extraordinary story of his life and the growth of the Human Rights movement. His fascinating perspective on the lies and limitations of the American dream and the inherent racism in a society that denies its non-White citizens the opportunity to dream, gives extraordinary insight into the most urgent issues of our own time.

Based on seven years of ground-breaking research and hundreds of interviews, I Thought It Was Just Me shines a long-overdue light on an important truth: Our imperfections are what connect us to each other and to our humanity. Our vulnerabilities are not weaknesses; they are powerful reminders to keep our hearts and minds open to the reality that we're all in this together.

Great Resource!
It is full of valuable information for the new or aspiring landlord. It has these short exercises at the end of each chapter to help reinforce that particular chapter's topic and customize it to your rental business. The downloadable PDFs are very helpful. This audiobook is best for the go-getter who, while listening, wants to get things done for their rental business. I highly recommend this audiobook.

Business Essential

The book to get you started!
Being a first-time landlord can be overwhelming, and this book will take you step by step and give you the good, bad, and ugly about managing properties and tenants. The book goes beyond finding tenants; it covers all aspects of being a landlord, from maintaining good communication with tenants to handling rent payments and increasing rent when necessary.
What I appreciate most about this guide is its hands-on approach. It offers steps for dealing with problem tenants, managing paperwork, taxes, and insurance, and even providing useful templates and resources.
Chapter 2, in particular, stood out to me as it provided valuable insights into finding tenants, whether through online platforms or other methods. The author thoroughly explains what it takes to be a successful property manager and how to attract grade-A tenants. This chapter offered practical tips and strategies to help you set the right tone for acceptable behavior and find reliable tenants for your property.

Great Beginner's Guide
This is a great guide for first time landlords and property managers. It takes the reader through all of the necessary steps - from finding tenants and contracts, through managing the expense and dealing with difficult tenants. The voice over was slow which is good for anyone who needs this type of narration to absorb a lot of information.
