A practical handbook for small-scale landlords

Michael Boyer’s guide organizes the work of managing a small rental property across the tenancy, from move-in through maintenance and move-out. Its scope spans tenant communication and common disputes, coordinating repairs, keeping financial records, and handling condo association restrictions. The fifth edition also covers tax-related topics and discusses rental property as part of a side business or FIRE strategy; these are presented as subjects for the guide, not independently verified advice. The book is aimed at hands-on owners of single-family homes, condos, and rental properties with fewer than four units, including those balancing property management with other work.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Owners managing a single-family home, condo, or rental property with fewer than four units
  • Landlords seeking guidance on maintenance, tenant issues, contractors, and move-out procedures
  • Small-scale landlords interested in financial tracking, tax topics, or rental property as a side pursuit

  • manage condos and deal with association restrictions

  • track income and expenses and prepare for tax time

  • hire and work with repairpersons, lawyers, and other contractors, and
