Acknowledgments
Anyone who's written a book recognizes the time, energy, and effort it takes to turn an idea into a finished product. In bringing The Intelligent REIT Investor Guide to fruition, it took an army of individuals; and I'm honored and blessed to have collaborated with all of them.

I also want to thank other WMR teammates, such as Noah Blacker, Tony Merola, Stephen Hester, and Frances Popp, who were all helpful in the creation of
