Lessons from the Landlady is a must-read book for anyone wanting to jump into the rental business as a side hustle or main gig. Most business owners don’t like to talk about their failures, but Wendy Myers honestly outlines all her mistakes so that readers can avoid them, ensuring that they make a high profit and stay out
of trouble.

Don’t rent your property without first reading Lessons from the Landlady! This book will save you time and money by showing you how to avoid all the pitfalls that so many other landlords make. Wendy shares her journey in a fun, light-hearted way that provides education that is easy to absorb and able to put
into action immediately.

As a 40-year seasoned educator of tens of thousands of mom and pop landlords and bestselling author and senior editor of the national Mr. Landlord newsletter, I recommend Ask the Landlady as a must-read for anyone wanting to jump into real
estate rentals or build on an existing portfolio of rental properties. In this book, Wendy provides an honest perspective of what it is really like to own rental properties and deal with all the entities, from banks and insurance companies to tenants and government agencies. She also provides practical, creative and proven landlording tips.

Providing housing for others can be a noble (and lucrative) career or side gig. However, it is best done in the intentional, professional manner described in Lessons from the Landlady. While there are many ways to invest in real estate, as entrepreneurial ventures go, there are few that reliably lead to wealth as well as direct real estate investing.

As someone who embraces a FIRE (financial independence, retire early) philosophy, I applaud those who embark on real estate investment as part of their financial portfolio. Real estate is always on the top of the list for passive income options. Wendy started real estate as a side hustle and turned it into a full-time retirement option. Lessons from the Landlady reads like a
handbook with real-life examples so that readers can duplicate her success.

Landlady Wendy Myers humorously draws from real life stories to teach how to leverage your existing skill set and experiences to jump start your real estate business. She is transparent from her own experiences, learning from mistakes, the joy of providing value and the reality of flexible schedules. Lessons from
the Landlady is a mandatory addition to anyone breaking into the real estate world!
