With housing prices still in the dumps, Americans are finding themselves in the uncomfortable position of landlord - http://bit.ly/164AiT

"Apartment vacancy rates nationally are the highest in more than two decades and rents are falling in some areas, compounding the difficulty of finding a good, steady tenant."

        

I'm in the process of writing and publishing my first book, "50 Interviews: with Successful Property Managers", and I am looking for successful property management companies or individual landlords in any of the following geographic areas that might be willing to be interviewed for the book:

1. Denver, Colorado area
2. Colorado Springs area / Southern Colorado
3. Northern California
4. Southern California
5. Any other State in the United States

The intent of the book, as well as all the other 50 Interview titles, is to share wisdom with others considering pursuing a career in the selected discipline, in this case, property management. 

The book will also appeal to the interviewee's peers and potentially expose them to some new property management opportunities.  The first book in the series, written by Brian Schwartz, was "50 Interviews: Entrepreneurs":

If you are interested in being interviewed for the book, or would like further information, please contact me by clicking on this link:
