Forget about generalized advice written for everyone in the entire United States. This book is for YOU!

The complete guide for all Alabama residential landlords.  Includes in-depth advice:

• Requirements of the new Alabama Residential Landlord Tenant Act (including a "cheat sheet" checklist!) and how the courts in sister states have interpreted the same or similar statutes.  Right now there is almost no Alabama case authority for guidance--we will have to elsewhere for interpretation. 
• • As an example, the Alabama statute says you must give 2 days notice before entering the premises, except in the case of emergency. It also says it is illegal for a lease to waive rights granted under the statute.  So, what do you do when a lease will end in two weeks, a motivated tenant prospect calls to look at the unit and will make a "rent decision" this afternoon, you can't give two days notice and you can't reach your tenant for permission?  Can you show the unit?

• Important lease clauses your attorney might recommend, and what they mean.  Learn about language to include in your leases to cut down on slow payments, increase revenues and tenant retention, and avoid problems.

• Fair Housing and other laws, including procedures you should put into effect immediately to avoid violating the law.

• Important rules of thumb regarding ratios for expenses, rents, and occupancies.

• Position your properties to bring top dollar on sale without spending a penny.  Understanding how investors evaluate your property can make all the difference. Worksheets included.

• Management companies--how to hire, manage, or do without.  Understanding the management contract.  Advice regarding when to hire a management company, even if you think they won't do as good a job as you!

• A survey and critique of landlord/tenant software.

• Local and national trade associations, and what they can do for you.
