Find Best Price at Amazon"I also bought the yellow cover book, "Landlording: A Handymanual for Scrupulous..." which is a lot of reading in small print pain to use."
"Very helpful advice."
"Easy to read and follow."
"I would recomend getting all three of the books in this series."
"When I need to know how to handle a situation, I can always find the answer I need in this guide."
"It covers all the legal considerations you need to be aware of as a landlord including differences in state laws and the legal forms you need."
"It guided me through pit falls and mistakes I may have made had I not read this book first."
Every Landlord's Tax Deduction Guide is the only book that focuses exclusively on IRS rules and deductions for landlords.

Find Best Price at Amazon"Because I can qualify for the unlimited deduction (not just $25,000) for rental losses, we have literally saved tens of thousands of dollars in taxes we would have otherwise had to pay on my husband's salary, legally, with the guidance of this book. By reading this book you will know how to buy, finance, and repair properties in ways that produce the most effective tax benefits."
"The book is straight forward tax information, no "you can do it" motivation or "how to be a landlord" sections. Each chapter concentrates on a subject, like "Landlord Tax Classifications" and "Repairs"."
"The author goes in to detail explaining things in a very easy to understand way using examples to show the difference s in more complex tax situations. yes, getting a tax person for complex issues as a definite team member i will be adding, but for the simple start years I figure I can do most of the work my self saving cash on my accountants time."
"I hope the author plans on publishing updates this year as the IRS has completely revamped landlord deductions for expenses vs. capital improvements."
"After reading and using the product to support my own tax return preparation I met with a CPA to discuss tax issues of my own and during our discussions I clarified some things to the CPA that the CPA was not aware of which Fishman addresses and explains in the book quite well. Fishman explains to great benefit that it is not really necessary to form an LLC for self protection if the property owner is running a good operation and obtains an umbrella policy to protect against legal issues."
"I recommend purchasing this book when you purchase an income property, not wait until you have to file the taxes."
"My CPA is very good but as a rental property owner, it helps to know a few things about what items can be applied for deduction and what will be a depreciation and many other things."

Find Best Price at Amazon"This is better then most of the top books on real estate investing, actually explaining "how" to get started and actually steps of action to take. As I read and explored the site I realized this book is amazing and the author knows what he is talking about and actually wants to help instead of asking me to sign up for a week long crash course on making millions of dollars in real estate. This is one of the few books that is not only a good introduction but also has a ton of information for seasoned real estate investors as well."
"This book is very informative and practical."
"I definitely have a new perspective om investing in rental properties."
"Great book to reference during the home buying experience."
"After purchasing this book it has really helped me understand rental properties much better."
"Brandon does a good job of categorizing the different aspects of buying and owning rental property and explaining each in layman's terms."
"Step by step from finding the deal, funding the deal to managing the property."
"There are no statistics, no scientific data, no analysis.. just random stories like "I was sitting at a Chinese restaurant, I opened my fortune cookie, and it told me that I'm meant for greater things so I decided to invest in real estate." I'm sorry, but if you're going to suggest people throw all their life savings into one basket, you should maybe give them some hard facts. Instead I was reading about a guy who had loads of luck and managed to build his rental property empire. A piece of free advice from me - if you're going to invest in property, do your own research and don't think it's as easy and as glamorous as some people might make it sound."
