NO DAYS VACANT—NO LOST RENT
PROPERTY MANAGEMENT ANYBODY CAN DO

Did your house not sell and now you’ve got to rent it out? Are you an “accidental landlord”? Tired of
property managers ripping you off? Most people hate the idea of total strangers living in your houses that
don’t pay on time, call you at 2 am and trash out your property. It doesn’t have to be like this. How would
you like your residents to:

• Pay the rent before it’s due?
• Maintain or even improve your property’s value?
• Get along with the neighbors?
• Stay a long time?

Land lording is an invaluable skill because tenants will make you rich. They will pay off your loans for you,
protect your property and provide you with a constant and never-ending stream of checks that show up
in your mailbox every month. Having a portfolio of rented out houses is the best investment ever—better
than annuities, better than stocks, better than gold. In this informative and practical class, attendees will:

• Become skilled at training your tenants to work FOR you
• Learn how to find the neighborhoods where properties rent quickly and easily
• Be surprised at the “no hassle” way of managing properties
• Learn how to find and screen great tenants you can trust
• Uncover simple ways to increase cash flow
• Discover how your residents will do the land lording work for you
• See how to identify the most profitable properties
• Be warned about which home improvements to avoid
• Realize why landlord-tenant laws are so vital
• Utilize powerful, ready-to-use land lording forms
• How to advertise and market your properties at little or no cost
• Turn up little-known tax breaks available to full time or part time landlords

This seminar will show first time and experienced investors how to safely and easily rent out houses with
minimal time and effort.

Steve Dexter has personally funded of 500 million dollars for thousands of homeowners and investors in
Souther California and across the country. He is author of the top-rated book “Real Estate Debt Can
Make You Rich” published by McGraw-Hill. He is a distinguished speaker at Harvard Business School.
Harvard Law School and their Graduate School of Design. He writes for several national publications
and own 27 investment houses, mostly in Southern California.

and why it works as well as plenty of time to explore the various techniques. Meditation styles include
