People Over Property

How To Buy Investment Properties Without Selling Your Soul

About The Book

Tired of the hype and highlight reels of real estate investing?

People Over Property empowers the reader to heal a wounded industry that is plagued with greed. After selfishly chasing properties but leaving people behind in his own business, Ian Lemke explains how we don’t have to leave our core values and beliefs at the door as we sit at the closing table.

People Over Property is perfect if you are:

Ready to invest in real estate but don’t know where to start.

Disciplined in setting goals, developing a plan of action, and making steady progress.
Creative, flexible, and willing to adjust your strategy based on the circumstances.

The real asset in real estate is not the property - it’s the people!

People are the most valuable asset on your balance sheet. Properties don’t pay you; People do! Real estate actually becomes a liability if you fail to see the value of people.
