A fascinating listen
This audiobook is raw, eye-opening, and oddly entertaining. The stories are wild, and the author's honesty about the highs and lows of managing low-income housing is interesting, and there is plenty to learn from their experiences. The book made me laugh at some of the crazier situations but also cringe at the challenges they faced. If you're curious about what goes on behind the scenes in the world of being a landlord, this audiobook is a fascinating listen.

a great learning material
Although it's a mix of many stories on other people, looking at it (or listening to it) from a real estate investor, especially a rental property investor's perpestive, somehow it's a great learning material for me. I just started investing into rental units not long ago. and still in the phase of learning and building my experience. i've talked to quite a few people in the industry. but this book still tells me a lot stories that i haven't heard of. quite fascinating to have found this book. i'd highly recommend it.

Goood
This book is straight up insane.. tenants using hot showers to heat their apartments , gang drama , and squatters turning units into their own crash pads, It's chaotic but packed with no BS advice on property managers and avoiding hidden repair costs. Even if you’re not into real estate, the stories are wild enough to keep you hooked.

Really engaging from the outset, a fascinating and slightly nervewracking account of a section 8 landlord!

Both entertaining and educational!
I enjoyed this audiobook and found it both informative and entertaining. The book covers stories from the author's experience managing low-income housing tenants. The author shares valuable learning lessons, e.g., a list of items not to include in the flat when renting out, as they always need fixing, to advise around choosing a great management agent. The stories and accounts are entertaining and fun to listen to, although some of the situations described are extreme and surely stressful when in the middle of it - highly recommended if you are a property investor, have been a property investor, or are considering investing in property.

This book felt so real.
The stories felt so real, like things you’d never believe could happen until they do. It made me think about all the risks I hadn’t considered before. I felt every emotion—shock, frustration, even a little hope. If you’re thinking about renting to tenants, this is a must.
