Free Download: The Landlord Starter Kit (5 Checklists)
- Free PDF: the 5 checklists every self-managing landlord needs — screening, move-in/out, turnover costs, tax deductions, and monthly bookkeeping.
Running a rental without systems is how deposits get lost, deductions get missed, and tax time becomes a nightmare. The Landlord Starter Kit puts the five checklists that matter most on one printable PDF:
1. Tenant Screening Checklist — the 7 steps before you say yes to any applicant
2. Move-In / Move-Out Checklist — document everything, protect every deposit
3. Turnover Cost Worksheet — what turnovers really cost and how to budget them
4. Tax Deduction Checklist — every Schedule E deduction landlords forget
5. Monthly Bookkeeping Checklist — the 6 tasks that keep your P&L honest
No signup, no email required — it's free. (Our email newsletter launches soon; when it does, subscribers will get new checklists and guides first.)
When the free kit starts feeling small, the Complete Landlord Toolkit is the full worksheet collection in one paid bundle — same systems, deeper coverage.
