Editorial Reviews

Review

"There are plenty of books out there aimed at providing the motivation to want to buy rental properties, but there are very few books that provide a detailed, step-by-step framework for accomplishing real estate success. Brandon Turner's The Book on Rental Property Investing does that, and does it in a way that puts financial freedom through real estate within reach of anyone who wants it." --J. Scott, Author of The Book on Flipping Houses

Review

PRAISE FOR BRANDON TURNER’S BOOKS

“An insiders’ perspective, full of encouragement and resources for newcomers… Interested readers will still find the book substantially useful as a starting point.”
―Kirkus Review on How to Invest in Real Estate

“I only wish this book had been written in 2005 when I was starting my real estate investing journey!”
―Ken Corsini, Real estate investor and star of HGTV’s Flip or Flop Atlanta

“I think this should be required reading for anyone considering real estate investing... Countless hours, months, and―frankly―years this book would have saved me!”
―Ben Leybovich, Real estate investor, syndicator, and founder of JustAskBenWhy.com

“There are very few books that provide a detailed, step-by-step framework for accomplishing real estate success. Brandon Turner’s The Book on Rental Property Investing does that, and does it in a way that puts financial freedom through real estate within reach of anyone who wants it.”
―J Scott, Bestselling author of The Book on Flipping Houses

“I have not read a more comprehensive discussion in my 20 years of investing. This is a great reference for beginners and experienced rental owners!”
―Al Williamson, LeadingLandlord.com

"This book is an A-to-Z guide for the real estate investor―not just buying and selling, but also strategic planning, which is all too often forgotten. The real-world examples really drive it home."
―Brian Burke, CEO of Praxis Capital

“The Book on Rental Property Investing fuses passion with a system-driven, business-mindedness that provides a very big resource to help establish and achieve your personal investment goals.”
―Bill Syrios, Owner of Stewardship Properties

"I wish I had The Book on Managing Rental Properties before I made all of my expensive property management mistakes! Brandon and Heather Turner have covered the biggest challenges for landlords and solved each one with step-by-step systems. I literally gave the information in Chapter 6 on tenant pre-screening to my own team and said, 'Use this!' It's that good.”
―Chad Carson, CoachCarson.com

“It's practical, real, and comes across very open and unbiased… This is great for beginners as well as anyone who is in another field of real estate investing looking to cross over.”
―Lisa Phillips, AffordableRealEstateInvestments.com

Good principles, but sometimes outdated
4 Stars
Good principles, but sometimes outdated
Good for a high level overview of concepts. But in some portions, this seems like it was written from the perspective of someone who had success back in the good old days... like when you could get a new roof for $5k and all new appliances for $1k. Your investment strategy will need to be based on today's realities, not costs from years ago.

Looking to invest in real estate for the first time. This book was very helpful in helping to understand all the processes and steps (there are many) to be aware, as well as providing good practical suggestions on what to look for in a property and how to analyze a potential investment. Would highly recommend.

If you are a beginner, this book will help. The only part that I didn’t like was something that many readers like me noticed: it’s very annoying that he mentions his podcast hundreds of times (It’s like watching a movie with commercials). Besides that is a good book for beginners. Some information is common sense but it also has good content.

My husband recently retired from the military and we've been discussing investing in rental properties now that he has a bit more time. We've put it off over the past year because it seems overwhelming to even get started.

As I read through this book, the questions I had about how to even get started were answered clearly, and with facts and anecdotal evidence. I love how Brandon walks you through every step of the rental property process from how to analyze a rental property (best chapter I read on this topic ever- no detail is left out!) to how to find one when you are ready to buy.

My only regret is that I didn't read this book through the first time with a pen and paper in hand. I'm now going back through it a second time making notes and beginning to outline a plan for my own investment plans.

Brandon simplifies the entire process and while he clearly states this is not a get rich quick book (thank goodness- there are enough of those these days) he does explain how investing in rental properties can help build wealth, allow you to eventually quit your day job, or just add to your investment portfolio.

This book is easy to read and filled with funny stories and real life examples from Brandon's experiences. I wouldn't have imagined a book on investing could be informative and entertaining, but this one is.

I've been doing a lot of research over the past year and this book is by far the most comprehensive, well written book on rental properties I've read.

Highly recommend!

Over the course of this book, there has been numerous times where I’m like, “Yeah, of course I want to” then others I’m like, “bah, that sounds like a huge hassle” and back and forth on and on… but he does a wonderful job summing it up. Basically do it or don’t, at the end of the day action is required, and that is something you have to do yourself..

But aside from that, brilliant and informative with some good jokes cast in.. a great book for starting out.

I'm not sure why there are negative reviews of this book. I think most people want a step by step, hand holding, you can do this sweetheart book. This book does tell you how to invest in real estate step by step, but every country and even states/province's have different rules and regulations. Brandon does say that you should do your research, and if you arent willing to do that then real estate investing is not for you. Top notch book!!!! I live in canada and found a wealth of information that was relatable in my country. Thanks Brandon for your wisdom and your podcast. PS. You dont have to buy this book, all the same info is in his podcast which is free!!!!
