I close on my first rental property in a lil less than a month. I was wondering what some of the best books on being a landlord were. Thanks in advance for suggestions.

    I've heard the BP book on property management is good but I've never read it. my personal favorite is "Every Landlord's Legal Guide" by NOLO. Full of practical advice from marketing to eviction, includes state-specific laws that are updated every year, and provides 20+ sample forms that you can edit and use to get started.
