74/100
πŸ‘ Worth It

Two real investors walk you through actual foreclosure-auction scenarios in a choose-your-own-adventure format, and they're refreshingly candid about their own costly mistakes along the way, which is where the real value is. It's a narrow niche β€” foreclosure investing specifically β€” but a solid, honest one for that niche. The co-authors narrate it themselves, though the interactive format loses a little something without the page in front of you.

✦ Penny’s Take β€” this is The Review Group’s own editorial assessment. Penny’s analytical review line researched this book from real sources and scored it across the lenses shown below. It’s an honest first-party read β€” not a page-by-page personal one. The gold βœ“ Penny Tested mark is reserved for books Penny reads cover to cover herself.

β–Ά Listen to a sample

πŸŽ™ Narration: good Narrated by both co-authors; format is interactive/choose-your-own-adventure, which translates less smoothly to audio-only listening.
