Making Money on Your Vacation Rental Home: Turning Your Rental Home Into Your Own Internet Business

Mt. Pleasant, SC, October 29, 2009 --(PR.com)-- Subtitled An Essential Handbook for Managing Your Short Term Vacation and Resort Rental Property for Maximum Enjoyment and Profit, this comprehensive 400 page handbook includes a chapter by chapter guide for rental home owners who wish to take advantage of the new opportunity that has emerged in recent years to self manage their rental homes by using commercial rental web sites. “Traditional property management companies provide a valuable service to those who can’t or don’t wish to manage their own homes, but at a substantial price” says the author. “The new internet opportunity enables many owners to double net income and achieve other substantial benefits while still offering schedule flexibility and mobility. I recall handling a rental while I was staying in Yellowstone Lodge!”

The timely release of this book should suit many vacation home owners who have thought about managing their own rental program but were unsure of the issues that they would face and what to expect. “I make no secret of the fact that many owners could learn to apply best practices for their vacation rental home totally on their own, without the benefit of the lessons in this book” says Howard. “It may take five years and cost thousands of dollars in lost income like it did me, but it is certainly possible.”

Besides covering owner rental management, specifics are provided on related topics such as maintaining the necessary computer resources and the tax implications for buying, selling and owning vacation homes. “I have tried to include everything that I have learned over the last ten years about the vacation rental market” said Howard. “I even offer a collection of sample rental forms available free to readers online.”

His book may be purchased at Lulu.com, the online book publishing site (http://www.lulu.com/content/paperback-book/making-money-on-your-vacation-rental-home/7692529.
