About The Landlord School
A systems-first approach to landlording — built from real ownership experience.
Amir Sharif
I’m the founder of The Landlord School. Over the past 12+ years, I’ve bought, renovated, permitted, and operated rental properties.
I started without a cosigner or financial backing. That forced me to rely on systems — not shortcuts — and to document decisions carefully.
This site shares the framework I use to buy right, build legally, screen confidently, and operate rentals with less stress.
The method
Landlording works best when decisions are made consistently, documented clearly, and supported by repeatable processes.
The method taught here focuses on structure — from property selection and permitting to tenant screening and maintenance — so each step reduces risk instead of adding it.
Why The Landlord School exists
The Landlord School exists to give first-time buyers and early-stage landlords the structure most people never get: a practical roadmap, repeatable tools, and real-world education that supports long-term ownership—not speculation or hype.
As housing prices and inflation keep raising the bar, buying your first home can feel out of reach—especially on a single income. We help you approach your first purchase strategically, with innovative ways to create additional income from day one so the deal becomes more affordable, more stable, and easier to grow from.
And if you’re already on your second or third property, we help you scale with clarity: improving your process, reducing mistakes, and building a rental portfolio that runs like a business—confidently, sustainably, and with fewer surprises.
