McLean, VA This is a practical handbook that addresses almost every conceivable situation facing an absentee landlord. The author's experience shows throughout this concise volume. Reading it helped me anticipate and prevent numerous problems that otherwise could have cost thousands of dollars to resolve. It is especially eye-opening to those of us who have found ourselves suddenly thrust into a position as an absentee landlord through transfers or other abrupt moves with little experience to prepare us. Her best selling book is filled with practical know-how plus loads of checklists, worksheets and solutions to all of your home loan questions.
Home repair is one such skill.
I believe that 5 weeks after purchasing this book - the book has already paid for itself. My parents moved back into my grandmother's 1960-era house after she passed away last year. The house was in need of a few repairs, but money was a limiting factor. The cleaning solution recipes are great, safe, and really do the best job. I have been slowly implementing a home maintenance program based solely on this book.
