Thinking About Becoming a Landlord? Start Smarter

Owning rental property can be a powerful long-term investment — but success depends on the systems you build from the start. From tenant placement and lease strategy to maintenance, inspections, and profitability, the right approach can make all the difference.

If you are new to rental ownership, educational resources like Landlord Like an Engineer can help you understand how to reduce headaches, protect your investment, and build a more profitable rental property strategy.

Landlord Like an Engineer Book
Over the past two decades, author Richard Sturtevant has developed optimized systems to lease and manage single-family rental homes. He knows how to maximize the potential of each unique piece of real estate while minimizing the effort required at each phase of the rental cycle.

The results have been clear when profits have been realized and reinvested (without hesitation) into more real estate.

In Landlord Like an Engineer, you’ll learn his proven approach to:

  • Optimize your rental property to maximize your revenue potential.
  • Scrutinize the resident selection process.
  • Handle inspections, damages, security deposits, and evictions to avoid headaches.
  • Leverage technology and specifics in your lease agreements for efficiency.
  • Vet and retain the most essential contractors.
  • Manage a short-term rental property, which is more like running a hotel.
  • Hire a property manager to save time and increase profits.
  • And more!

If you’ve realized that being a landlord has both incredible potential and mind-numbing pitfalls, Landlord Like an Engineer is your practical guide for success and profit.
