"I started a vacation rental with very little knowledge. Thanks to Deborah Nelson and her helpful book I have learned so many things about this business. Many great ideas helped me to improve my business, improve my income, learn about the many things to be aware of, and reduced my time involved in running it. Many cost-saving and time-saving tips in this book and issues I would never have thought of. A great investment!"

I bought this book to learn about the VRBO business from the ground up. This book delivered. Excellent detail in theoretical as well as practical information.
- V. L. Freeman (Goodland, KS)
I have a home in Santa Barbara, which I turned into a vacation rental. I got Deborah Nelson's book and found it to be invaluable! It's extremely thorough, helpful, and easy to understand. I am sure it will save me plenty of would-be problems with tenants. I especially liked the forms she includes. She explains why a 'hospitality agreement' is much better than a lease. If you plan on vacation renting or know someone who already is, this is the book!
