Finance ✦ Penny’s Take
Buy and Hold Forever
David Schumacher (College instructor in real estate) · 2010
74/100
👍 Worth It
A real estate instructor with an actual $20-million portfolio walks you through his buy-smart-and-hold philosophy with real charts and real deals, not just theory. Some of the market specifics have aged since the update, but the core approach to picking property and building long-term wealth still holds up. Solid choice if you want practical guidance from someone who's actually done it.
