Testimonials
...I
am a new landlord and this was the perfect site for
me to join. My friend who only has 2 rental units referred
me to LandlordOnline. The ease of use was the selling point
for me.

...I
had never done a 1031 exchange before but LandlordOnline
gave me more than enough information to convince me
this was great investment strategy for me.

...The
site has been very useful but I find the article of
the week to be most informative. I like being kept up
to date on issues.

have a chat room so if there is something you need to
know, that you can't find, someone is always there to
help. This site is a really great resource.
