This first book in Kelle Riley’s new series has it all—a plot full of twists and turns, a super-smart sleuth, and just a smidge of romance. I love that the sleuth doesn't act impulsively and instead observes and deduces.
In addition, there are yummy recipes, a cranky rescue cat, and several quirky secondary characters. I especially like the couple who own a dog bakery and their trained dog that discourages the goose population.

Heather Blake’s first Wishcraft mystery is a captivating story that delightfully blends crime, magic, romance, and self-discovery. The suspense remains high throughout the book and is not an easy mystery to solve. The characters and plot are spellbinding and full of charm, enchantment, and humor. I especially love the animals who speak and help provide the clues.

Real estate investing has truly changed my life, not only my financial life, but also how I spend my time.

Land is its own unique asset class with its own set of challenges, but Cheryl has put together a very easy to read and understand path to learning the basics of land ownership.
While the book is a quick read and doesn’t get too deep, it is a great starter resource for anyone who is considering the purchasing of land. I also like how Cheryl’s writing style is straightforward and concise, with not much fluff or filler.
This book can serve as a great base and jumping off point if you’re looking to dive deeper into this unique, but profitable asset class.
Buying and selling land can be a complicated endeavor. There are dozens of details that must be researched with many choices to make prior to closing on a transaction. Failing to properly perform due diligence can mean leaving money on the table, or worse: buying a property that cannot be used.

My favorite part about Casey’s book is that it is a straightforward, easy to read, playbook that goes in order through 15 steps that are easy to understand and implement after you purchase your property.
Many books focus on how to purchase real estate, but fewer give you guidance on how to manage after you own the asset. From establishing your mindset and motivation to how to manage your repairs and create advantageous tax strategies, Casey gives you manageable doses of powerful information.
Of his 15 steps, many provide truly valuable information, but one of my favorites is titled “Be the Landlord you would love to rent from” because I feel that is a topic that is often overlooked by investors and yet can help increase your bottom line the most.

This book is one of my favorites simply because of the down to earth style Terrie portrays in her writing and business, yet she is extremely productive in her investing career.
Terrie is very clear that her book is not a get rich quick or instant wealth playbook, but rather she takes you on the proper journey to building wealth with real estate rentals.
One of the unique things about Terrie’s book is that she dives deeper than just the surface level investing and helps you get into your investing mindset and establish a solid foundation for you to build upon, not only from an investing standpoint, but also from a standpoint of how you operate your business and the relationships you build.
In this groundbreaking book, Terrie Schauer argues that investing in real estate can be a way to generate income without spending most of your waking hours trapped in the hamster wheel. But for this to turn into a reality, you need to become a mindful landlord. Mindfulness primer, compelling mythbuster, and practical step-by-step guide all in one, this book leaves no stones unturned.

I needed to find a book that got down to the process of becoming an investor. Gary does an excellent job of breaking down the components of becoming a good real estate investor. In addition to the blocking and tackling Gary included a bonus section that I simple loved because I was hungry for stories of success. At the end of Gary’s book, Gary included a list of investors who successfully completed the journey. Those pages kept me engaged as the first few years of real estate investing are slow and those stories got me through.
