How to Read a Rent Roll

Do you know all the elements of a rent roll? This book is intended for those on the verge or in the throes of buying income property. In the acquisitions process you must validate contractual rental revenue. The seller will provide you with certain financial data, including the rent roll, for your inspection during the due diligence period; it is up to you to validate this information. Buying rental property is not an impulse purchase. 

The acquisition process is a significant time commitment and one that can be very rewarding. As a prospective buyer, you need to know how to build, understand and use the rent roll to your advantage. This book is a technical guide to rent roll analysis. The objective here is to narrow your attention to one thing and one thing only: estimating the validity, or reliability, of contractual rental revenue collected from income property.
