Good basics for Property Management

This book was purchased as a textbook for school. It is very good overview of basic real estate facts and reference, and will help anybody taking the state exam in real estate.

A solid introduction to property management

This is a good general introduction to the business of property management. This textbook includes chapters on 1. Professional Property Management 2. Property Management Economics and Planning 3. Managing Owner Relations 4. Marketing Management 5. Managing Leases 6. Managing Lease Negotiations 7. Managing Tenant Relations 8. Managing Maintenance and Construction 9. Managing Reports and Insurance 10.Managing the Office 11.Managing Federal and State Laws 12-16. Managing Residential/Specialized/Office/Retail/Industrial Property 17.Managing Life Safety and Environmental Issues There are chapter questions with elaborated answers in the back of the book to guide your studies and a pretty decent glossary for many of the business-specific terms. Obviously, as a general course, it is not intended to address ANY topic in great detail and it is unlikely that most readers will find a need to cover the management of such a variety of property types. But this is the starting place. I have owned and managed rental property and the parts of the book addressing residental property rang true. If you are considering getting into the rental business or property management business, this is a good initial resource.

Full of good statistics

Took this course a few years ago, and we used this book. It is a good starter book. There are others out there that could be used also, but this one is written at the average persons reading level. It also is good becuase it covers all properties not just apartments or retail etc..
