My personal favorite - a vital book to bring humility into the entrepreneurs efforts. The author helps establish the things that our personal efforts can achieve and the things that are outside of our control.

Take away points: 

- Master the sales process, market your own investment properties, don't let your broker control the process.

- Use high tech marketing to sell homes.

- Focus on high quality materials

- Estimated renovation time 1.5-2 months per thousand square foot remodeled

- Ideal Acquisition cost should equal: [Future selling price at 10-15% above current market - renovation costs] x 50%-60%
