As someone who is investing in herself and developing (and working on) tangible goals, I've been reading a lot of books on business, lifestyle design, and investing. Most of those books offer high level insights and principles, or else theoretical or philosophical perspectives. Mostly I use them as a continuous supply of motivation because the bulk of them are working to change your mindset and open your imagination up to the possibilities. I love books like that, and they have their place.

This has been the most refreshing non-fic book I've read so far this year because it includes so much detail on the HOW of things, which my computer brain really appreciates. I'm not that creative a person, but I'm GREAT at following directions.

Greene will walk you through each one of the steps in the BRRRR process, including his reasoning on the WHY of things, informative and useful how-tos (and the why behind each how-to), and stories and examples to illustrate points, processes, and philosophies.

I went through three highlighters and started a fourth while reading this book, and I HIGHLY recommend you don't do this one on audio. When you get started investing you will want to use it as a reference and will want the ability to flip through pages rather than finding the right spot in the audio. I have been learning that these types of books should really be purchased in hard copy for this reason, even if you do buy an audio version first.

I already subscribed to Bigger Pockets and got the next book on my list by Brandon Turner so I can continue to add to my knowledge and begin building connections while I'm hitting some other financial goals.

Five stars all day long.

Useful info for sure. Not always the best organized, and a little thin on addressing downsides, but a good start.
