Finance ✦ Penny’s Take
Successful Real Estate Investing
Robert Shemin · 2004
71/100
👍 Worth It
Robert Shemin's mistake-by-mistake structure is genuinely handy — 75 bite-sized lessons make it easy to flip to the exact pitfall you're worried about, backed by real case studies rather than theory. It's from 2004 so some of the financing details are dated, but the negotiation and tenant-management fundamentals still land.
