13 Great 'Take Action' Books Every Real Estate Investor Needs

By Chris Clothier on Wed, Jan 2, 2019

Whether You Read Books or Listen to Audio Books, You NEED to Add These Books to Your List!

Every year I try to put together a list of books that I enjoyed reading the previous year. If you have read my lists in the past, you know that I often list books that I read over and over again because they are that impactful!
