- Near the middle point of writing the book, author Mitch Stephen almost quit, stating that he was not saying anything original in his book. A wise man changed his mind by explaining that very little in this world is original but that his writing voice was original and one of a kind… “and if that voice is going to reach someone that has never heard such things, then one should keep writing.”

- While the backdrop of this book is real estate, the story also appeals to those not involved in real estate.
