content: Although Shemin brings up many good ideas, I found that most of his ideas are way to cheezy for me (or Southern california.) He discusses buying places for $8,000-$20,000 (I wish) and believes that charging more for rent will ultimately get you higher quality tenents. I completely disagree, especially in down markets.A decent book, overall, but I'd suggest a Nolo book which has more real legal information as well as solid do's and don'ts for a landlord.
