Real estate expert Julie Broad will be in the store on Tuesday, October 29 from 4:00 to 6:00pm signing copies of her new book More Than Cashflow: The Real Risks & Rewards of Profitable Real Estate Investing.

From Julie Broad’s website:

“I thought the day I said “My book is here!!” would be filled with excitement and joy. And I do feel a lot of excitement, but it’s followed very closely by a TON of fear. I can’t believe how scary it is to put myself out there in this way. But, I opened myself up and shared my own personal stories, thoughts and feelings in this book; covering details that almost nobody knew about. I also revealed many things you should know about the real estate industry; Things that nobody else is talking about.”  – Julie Broad

We hope to see you all on Tuesday!
