Good Property Manager Book/Manual

[Nathan Gesner]

I have the 2002 version of "Every Landlord's Legal Guide". I haven't read through it since 2004 when I owned one investment property. Now I own a company that manages 120 properties for others and all my training is from the previous owner. She's tired and slacking on some things, so I've been researching how to fix things up and have already got a plan to change things around.

Long story short, I remembered the NOLO book and started reading through it again last night and it is chock full of great advice for screening tenants, drawing contracts, etc. I wish I had read this a month ago! My question is, are there any experienced property managers with a recommendation of a better book than the NOLO guide? I've also considered taking classes but have no idea where to start.

If there's anything out there better than NOLO for general PM guidance, I would love to hear about it! Thanks!

Books and courses are set up to make the individual money - not to give you complete and accurate data. You could probably learn more than any PM course or book by asking specific questions on different areas of Property management from this forum. My favorite 4-letter word is FREE!
