Review: Very helpful for a first timer. - I have used this and found it very readable and helpful as I prepare to rent out a house for the first time. I also recommend the "guide to tax deductions" from the same publisher. Review: Tons of great information! - I would recomend getting all three of the books in this series. I.E. the managing property one, the tax one, and the legal guide. Tons of great information!
