But Property Management For Dummies will help you maintain your sense of humor and your sanity as you deal with these challenges and more.

You may become an unintentional property owner someone who inherited a house from a relative and didn′t want it to sit idle, or someone who transferred to a job in another city and decided to rent your home rather than sell it or you may have entered the world of property ownership intentionally. Either way, real estate offers one of the best opportunities to develop a steady stream of residual income.

• Evaluate your skills and personality to see whether you have what it takes to be a landlord
