6 Books for Rental Property Investors

6 Books for Rental Property Investors

When discussing his favorite book, Warren Buffett, who reads approximately five to six hours a day, remarked, ‘‘I can’t remember what I paid for the first copy of ‘The Intelligent Investor.’ Whatever the cost, it would underscore the truth of Ben [Graham]’s adage: Price is what you pay; value is what you get. Of all the investments I ever made, buying Ben’s book was the best.’’

Despite being relatively inexpensive, books can be extremely valuable to entrepreneurs and investors. With just a few sentences, book readers can walk away with new insights and practical lessons that they could use to improve both their personal and professional lives.

This is especially true for rental property investors. Whether you are a new or veteran real estate investor, these six books will add value to your rental property portfolio.

  1. Investing with No Money Down

The best book on how to invest with no money down is “The Book on Investing in Real Estate With No (and Low) Money Down” (2014), by Brandon Turner. Unlike stocks, bonds, and mutual funds, investing in real estate requires a significant amount of money. Even if an investor plans to finance the acquisition or development of a property with debt, he or she will still need to have enough money to make a strong down payment to secure a loan.

  1. How to Manage Rentals

On managing rentals, “The Book on Managing Rental Properties” (2015), by Brandon and Heather Turner is the top book. It serves as a comprehensive guide for rental property owners after they have closed on their deals. In the book, the Turners provide advice on a wide range of aspects associated with the day-to-day property management. This includes how actually to find and screen tenants, how to properly collect rent owed to you, as well as important clauses to include in your rental lease and bookkeeping tips.

  1. Considering Cash Flow

When it comes to considering and managing cash flow, “What Every Real Estate Investor Needs to Know About Cash Flow—And 36 Other Key Financial Measures” (2015, Updated Edition), by Frank Gallinelli is the best book.

Unfortunately, the world of real estate has a lot of financial jargon that often confuses new investors, but luckily “What Every Real Estate Investor Needs to Know About Cash Flow” helps investors understand important terms such as discounted cash flow, return on equity (ROE) and capitalization rate. The physical nature of real estate often makes it easy for investors to fall in love with a property even though it may not make much financial sense to acquire it. This book can help a person avoid speculating and making emotional decisions when investing in real estate because it teaches readers how to analyze a deal and make calculated predictions on its future revenue.

  1. Protect Yourself

On protecting yourself with investing in real estate, “Loopholes of Real Estate” (2013), by Garrett Sutton is the go-to book.

Part of the Rich Dad Advisor’s book series, “Loopholes of Real Estate” contains a number of strategies to protect yourself legally when investing in rental property as well as several tax loopholes to take advantage of to maximize profits.

  1. Taxes

“Every Landlord’s Tax Deduction Guide” (2015, 12th ed.), by Stephen Fishman J.D. is the best book on managing taxes. Every year, many rental property investors overstate their net income. This results in a higher than needed tax bill.

Jamaican Billionaire Michael Lee-Chin once remarked that in order to be a successful investor, one needs to “minimize their taxes.” “Every Landlord’s Tax Deduction Guide” shares a long list of available deductions that are often forgotten by real estate investors. Knowing this can help reduce an investor’s tax liabilities while staying on the right side of the IRS.

  1. Grow Your Empire

“Multi-Family Millions” (2008), by David Lindahl is the perfect book for ambitious investors who instead of owning individual houses would like to own and operate apartment complexes, often known as multi-family real estate. The book provides readers with a step by step guide to acquiring their first multifamily property, how to finance a deal of such scale, and how to eventually exit the investment.

Books by Dr William Edward Deming

William Edwards Deming (October 14, 1900 – December 20, 1993) was an American engineer, statistician, professor, author, lecturer, and management consultant.

Educated initially as an electrical engineer and later specializing in mathematical physics, he helped develop the sampling techniques still used by the U.S. Department of the Census and the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

In his book The New Economics for Industry, Government, and Education Deming championed the work of Walter Shewhart, including statistical process control, operational definitions, and what Deming called the “Shewhart Cycle, which had evolved into Plan-Do-Study-Act (PDSA). That was in response to the growing popularity of PDCA, which Deming viewed as tampering with the meaning of Shewhart’s original work.

Deming is best known for his work in Japan after WWII, particularly his work with the leaders of Japanese industry. That work began in July and August 1950, in Tokyo and at the Hakone Convention Center, when Deming delivered speeches on what he called “Statistical Product Quality Administration”.

Many in Japan credit Deming as one of the inspirations for what has become known as the Japanese post-war economic miracle of 1950 to 1960, when Japan rose from the ashes of war on the road to becoming the second-largest economy in the world through processes partially influenced by the ideas Deming taught
