The low interest rates and double-digit appreciation in the housing market a few years ago have given way to declining home prices, higher rates, more foreclosures, and higher credit standards. Homeowners who need to relocate or want to move are finding it impossible to do so without taking a loss. Many are considering renting their homes until the market rebounds, and this book is for them. The Accidental Landlord helps readers determine if renting is a viable option, and if it is, how to go about the process of being a landlord until it makes sense to sell. In it, readers will learn how to: determine if it makes financial sense to rent, assess whether or not they have what it takes to be a landlord, decide between the various rental options available, explore different types of rental agreements and decide which is best.
