About the Author
Michael Boyer is a part-time landlord, college professor, and attorney. He has graduate degrees in management and law, plus over a decade of experience as a successful do-it-yourself landlord. He has been on both sides of the landlord-tenant equation, as a landlord and as a volunteer attorney representing low-income tenants. Boyer is the author of numerous articles and chapters, and has served on many boards, including several condominium association boards. This is his first book and it is a culmination of years of collecting notes, tips, and day-to-day observations about what practices really work for the small-time landlord (especially one with a day job).
