I am looking for an all-encompassing book for first-time landlords.

It's not whether or not I can solve the problem, whatever it is, but how much of my time this will encompass and what else could I do during that time that produces equal or higher profit with less hassle or risk.

I haven't seen that kind of growth in less fashionable suburbs and sprawl markets.As a resident of the most hyped urban region, I see people trying to hold onto a dream of ownership that encompasses their love for an area.

Beginning to lose hope in a blanket loan, umbrella loan, all encompassing loan, whatever you want to call it, with a rate anywhere close to prime.

In Michigan I've used Liberty Mutual, Encompass, and Foremost.  

Mortgages are typically assumable...and it sounds like this is what the seller wants- you basically meet the banks credit standards and assume the loan.A wrap is the origination of a new loan that encompass the existing loan...Bottom line, this is not really seller financing: Seller financing (in a best case scenario) is when the property is free from liens and the seller creates a note and mortgage: i.e. they become the lender.

Strategy should encompass what areas you're targeting, how you're going to market to those areas, what methods you're going to use to purchase property, how you will monetize those purchases, and what your exit conditions are. 

GooddayI would like some tips on how to be a better property manager..I am a manager of 168+ tenants encompassing Commercial,industrial and residential property..RegardsOlly
