Finance ✦ Penny’s Take 🎧 Audiobook
How to Get Started in Real Estate Investing
Robert Irwin · 2005
🎙 Narrated by William Dufris
72/100
👍 Worth It
Irwin's decades of real estate writing show in the clean step-by-step structure and handy "tips and traps" call-outs, and William Dufris is a genuinely polished, experienced narrator worth listening to. The catch is it's a 2005 edition with dated figures and a fairly short runtime, so treat it as a solid framework primer rather than an up-to-date numbers guide.
