The Book on Rental Property Investing
by Brandon Turner
The BiggerPockets playbook for buy-and-hold real estate. Turner walks through deal analysis, financing, tenant screening, and the arithmetic of cash flow — the practical detail most real estate books skip in favor of motivation.
Key takeaways
- ★Cash flow, not appreciation, is what makes a rental safe
- ★You make your money when you buy — analysis beats optimism
- ★Run the numbers on vacancy, capex, and repairs before you bid
- ★Financing structure matters as much as the property itself
- ★Screening tenants well prevents most landlord horror stories
