Finance ✦ Penny’s Take 📱 Kindle
The Skinny on Real Estate Investing
Jim Randel · 2010
71/100
👍 Worth It
Randel's stick-figure comic approach sounds gimmicky but multiple independent finance bloggers agree it works — you'll genuinely understand leverage and cap rate in under thirty minutes. It won't teach you how to close a deal, but as a fast, honest-about-the-risks primer for total beginners, it does exactly what it promises.
