    5 Stars Excellent Reference
    Well organized, easy to read, and includes many useful examples.

    As a beginner to the rental real estate business, I was looking for a good reference to help me take advantage of current Landlord Tax Law. This book was everything I hoped for and more.

    Note: If you already understand tax law concepts like the various ways to deduct depreciation and cash vs. accrual accounting methods, perhaps parts of the book will seem too “simple” but it’s likely you will still benefit from reading it.

    5 Stars Great book
    I needed a book to give me very detailed information on the tax deductions a landlord could take. I am thinking of turning my second home into rental property and I wasn’t sure of the tax advantages. I found this book and it was very informative. I couldn’t put it down and read the entire book in two days. Then, I went back and read the important parts again. After reading the book I feel like an expert on the subject. The book tells you how to keep records, figure out your basis, etc without having to refer to the numerous booklets the IRS provides the taxpayers. Definitely worth the money.

    5 Stars Very Informative
    This book is a wealth of information for a Landlord. I highly recommend it.

    5 Stars eye-opener – beware of all knowing cpa
    after getting lead around by the nose by all-mighty cpa & other tax gurus i can’t say how helpful book has been….seems real estate biz returns need a specialist, using medical field as an analogy, not a do-all general practitioner…insightful info put fear of god (& irs auditor)in me how inaccurate previous returns have been, not only error prone but missing valid deductions as well….great presentation, not delivered as rocket science, pragmatic, relevant, not victoria secrets-sexy material but crammed with real world info to save big dollars legally, shame on me for what i have missing all these years…no longer intimated over forms & schedules, i finally get it….honestly believe book will save me thousands, 5 stars just ain’t enough
