F&%$ Real Estate
From Dirt to Cashflow: A Developer's PlaybookBy Chris KoenigLength13h 4m
About this audiobook
Most real estate books are written from retirement. The author made money, hired a ghostwriter, and turned chaos into a clean narrative. This book was written while the deals were still under construction and the outcomes were still uncertain.
F&%$ Real Estate is a developer's playbook — not for people who buy apartment buildings and collect rent, but for people who find raw dirt, fight through entitlements, build something from nothing, and create value that didn't exist before they showed up. It covers site selection, entitlements, fire departments, construction, solar integration, capital stacks, tax credits, partnership structures, family business dynamics, lease-up strategy, and exit planning.
No theory. No motivational fluff. Just the real process of ground-up commercial development from someone who's still in the middle of it — because the lessons hit harder before you know how the story ends.
