I just finished the book Mastering Real Estate Principles by Gerald Cortesi. A 500 page tome that many US states use as their bible for real estate broker licensing. I found it a good extensive read that is similar to, but more detailed than, Modern Real Estate Practice, which is used for real estate salesperson licensing. If you are planning on investing in real estate, I highly recommend reading both books, starting with Modern Real Estate Practice.

Well, I finally decided to take that bold step of enabling comments. Now you too can comment on existence.

A friend of mine recently recommended an email newsletter put out by Martin Cagan of the Silicon Valley Product Group. I have not fully explored the resources provided on the group’s website, but I very much enjoyed yesterday’s newsletter(my first received) on the topic of the recruiting machine at Microsoft. As well, I enjoyed their whitepaper, “The Top 12 Product Management Mistakes” and look forward to reading their papers.
