    About this audiobook

    Save time and money with this refreshing guide to managing your own properties—perfect for investor-landlords who want to keep it simple.

    As you start and build your real estate investing portfolio, one of the biggest challenges is managing your properties. The learning curve for landlords can be intimidating at best and disastrous at worst—so how do you optimize your business, avoid pitfalls, and set yourself up for profitable and ethical success?

    In The Self-Managing Landlord, discover the secrets of efficient property management, tenant screening and onboarding, and scaling your business—and create lasting wealth through real estate so you can finally break free from the 9-to-5 grind. With 55 self-managed units combined, Amelia McGee and Grace Gudenkauf both understand the challenges and opportunities of being a DIY landlord. You'll learn from their hands-on experience so you can say goodbye to frustrating property management companies and hello to efficient, money-saving self-management.

    In this book, you'll learn how to:

    • Find Great Tenants: Attract and screen trustworthy tenants to safeguard your investments.
    • Operate Ethically: Navigate landlord-tenant laws and understand your legal responsibilities.
    • Maximize Profits: Optimize rent pricing, expense management, and cash flow for success.
    • Manage Effortlessly: Streamline tasks and maintenance, handle challenging situations smoothly, and build productive landlord-tenant relationships to make your life as a landlord a breeze.
    • Optimize Taxes: Save money with savvy strategies and deductions.
    • Scale Your Portfolio: Build a long-term real estate strategy to step out of the self-managing business.
