One in five houses sold last year in America were rental properties for
investment–and everyone who bought one of those properties needs to know how
to be a landlord. This straightforward landlord’s resource explains author
Mike Butler’s proven, almost "hands-off" and effective system for maximizing
a landlord’s cash flow, avoiding tenant headaches, and slashing expenses.
One powerful, simple technique, according to Butler’s system, is for
landlords to behave like employers and treat their good tenants like great
employees. This means giving tenants certain responsibilities and
obligations, taking the pressure off the landlord so he can live his life
while his investments work for him.
Now a millionaire landlord, Butler’s system not only allows landlords to
manage tenants with minimal hassle, but also shows landlords how to really
collect more than 100% rents owed. That’s right! This system shows landlords
how to bring in more income than the total amount of their rents, maximizing
their cash flow and leading to a higher quality of life for the landlord.
Landlording on Auto-Pilot is the perfect resource for every serious landlord
who wants all the money, but not all of the work.
Mike Butler (Louisville, KY) is the founder of WealthBuilding247.com and
the creator of Tenant Tracking, bookkeeping software he developed for
investors, for both landlording and taxes. Now it’s available for real
estate investors and is being used in all 50 states, Canada, England, and
Singapore. His system allowed him to manage more than 100 properties while
holding down his full-time job as a police officer in Louisville, KY. Now a
full-time investor, he is a licensed real estate broker, a Realtor, a
charter member of the local chapter of the National Association of
Residential Property Managers, and immediate Past President of the
Kentuckiana Real Estate Investors Association.
Mike, I am reading your book "Landlording On Autopilot", and
I have to give you Kudos, my man! What a great job you've done!
I am a Real Estate
Broker in charge of a very successful brokerage, and I am making your book
"Mandatory" reading for ALL my agents. I am also recommending it to all my
investor clients. Thank you, Mike!

Hi Mike,
Thanks for a great book!
Wow, I have finished the book, and it was great! I
will continually use it as a reference. There are so
many small, valuable tips that I constantly refer back
to it. This book will save us a small fortune in the
long run...It is a real world book from someone who
went thru the growth without the knowledge on just how
to do it...and what he would do differently if he had
to do it all over again. Advice like that, from a
successful person is so valuable, it is like having a
mentor with you 24-7!

My manager told me about the book and I ordered
it on line. I don’t read much, but when I got the book in I
couldn’t put it down.
Thanks, Jerry
It has been a pleasure reading your book. I've learned so much!
All the questions I had to about how to effectively manage
certain nagging aspects of the rental business, have been
clearly answered. Your book and your forms are by far the most
complete package I have come across.
Your insight and experience prove you have graduated from the
old School Of Hard Knocks...I know... I have taken my lumps from
Landlording since 2003, and it does "take one to know one".
Your "Auto Pilot" system is what ALL serious property
owners are really searching for:
A fair and balanced approach to managing rentals that gets
positive results for both Tenant and Landlord.
Thanks so much!
I can now take my rental business confidently to the next level.
Looking forward to finding more insights from your work and your
experience.
Sincerely,
Adolfo S. Midence

AWESOME!!! May 8, 2008
I own $100 million of real estate already-but learned a lot from this guy!
Should be called Landlording StreetSmarts...great tip, May 3, 2008
I read many of the books that come out, and should be considered a real
estate veteran, not a beginner, as I own over $100 million of real estate in
the Midwest, mostly apartment communities. I bought the book because of the
title...and really learned a lot from this author. I highly recommend this
to ANY owner or potential owner..large or small...you'll make back a
thousand times what you paid for this book in the first year of running your
own property!!! J. Stewart. St. Louis,

Practical Landlord book!, August 7, 2007

Mike shares great ideas that are practical for most landlords.
He also shares many simple money saving tips. I am going to implement many of
his ideas for my business. Thanks Mike!
Great
helpful ideas to simplify landlording, July 19, 2007
Vanessa Belyea (New Hampshire)
“I found this book has some very good common sense ideas to make
landlording carefree. Alot of the information can also be used in various other
real estate businesses. I have both long and short term properties and really
liked the way the author spelled out and broke down each aspect of landlording
from screening tenants to handling maintenance.
I highly recommend not only for landlords but business people who want to free
themselves and put their business on auto pilot!”
Awesome

really enjoyed reading the book
Thanks again

Investing is not Scary, June 13, 2007
Patrick Hall (Japan)
Some authors, and even some investors, normally advise the routes
which lead around the seemingly scary Landlord option. Mike Butler breaks
through all of the barriers that many of us relate to Landlords and landlording.
I am very pleased with the straight-forward explanations along with his Kentucky
humor. Mix this book in with other authors like Robert Kiyosaki, Peter Conti &
David Finkel, Michael A. Lechter and Ken McElroy to really spice up your views
of investing and take it to a higher level. This book has caused me not only to
rethink Landlording as an option, but also opened my mind to owning a multitude
of single family homes vice apartments/condos.
Thank you Mike Butler!
Great
book for beginning and experienced investors, April 14, 2007
P. Szanto (Southern California)
The author is an ex-cop who brings a real-world sensibility to
property ownership and management. He started investing while working full time,
and he is more than willing to share his mistakes so that you can avoid them.
His ideas for handling tenants are the most valuable part of the book.
This is not a treatise on finance. The author is all about cash flow and tax
benefits--namely, the bottom line. Bob Bruss, the respected real estate
columnist gave this book a good review, and after reading through and
implementing some ideas, I am inclined to agree with Mr. Bruss. Buy this
book--it's well worth it!

Nitty Gritty Real Estate Book That I Have Ever Read, March 7, 2007
Indiana
Home Buyers Mike W. (Indiana)
There are so many valuable little tips throughout the book that are
priceless.
After I would read a page or two, I would call my REI buddys and tell them what
I had just learned and we would discuss the great ideas in the book. (I learned
quite a bit, and I have been an investor for a while)
I you own rental property, buy this book.
Fantastic
Book, February 7, 2007
A Serious Reader, St. Petersburg, Florida
This should be your FIRST book to buy if you are serious about
buying property. It is worth every penny and then some. It's great to have
someone who's been there and done that write about their experience. Mike's
advice will save you from making beginner mistakes and point you in the right
direction every time. His advice is sound and he brings up many items that the
first-time rental property owner would never think of.
Mike also gives you websites where you can download free forms - ones' which I
never thought of before other than the standard Rental Agreement form.
This is a GREAT READ if you are just beginning in the rental property business!
Down-to-Earth
Advice to a Landlord,
Kathy Gerardy, Maryland
Mike Butler's first published book on landlording provides great
advice to both new and seasoned landlords. The book gives practical advice to
getting rents paid on time and regularly. I've been following Mike's landlording
methods for a few years now and can definitely say that my rent collections have
improved immensely since using his sytems. The book gives FREE access to forms
that other "gurus" would charge hundreds of dollars to get. The book also
intersperes landlording advice with overall investing pearls of wisdom to keep
the reading lively and interesting. Since this ex-undercover detective has been
so successful in the real estate investing world, it's advice not to be ignored.
I really enjoyed the book and remain a big fan.
