The Japanese Lover
Summary
From New York Times and internationally best-selling author Isabel Allende, an exquisitely crafted love story and multigenerational epic that sweeps from San Francisco in the present day to Poland and the United States during the Second World War. In 1939, as Poland falls under the shadow of the Nazis, young Alma Belasco's parents send her away to live in safety with an aunt and uncle in their opulent mansion in San Francisco. There, as the rest of the world goes to war, she encounters Ichimei Fukuda, the quiet and gentle son of the family's Japanese gardener. Unnoticed by those around them, a tender love affair begins to blossom. Following the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, the two are cruelly pulled apart as Ichimei and his family - like thousands of other Japanese Americans - are declared enemies and forcibly relocated to internment camps run by the United States government. Throughout their lifetimes, Alma and Ichimei reunite again and again, but theirs is a love that they are forever forced to hide from the world. Decades later, Alma is nearing the end of her long and eventful life. Irina Bazili, a care worker struggling to come to terms with her own troubled past, meets the elderly woman and her grandson, Seth, at San Francisco's charmingly eccentric Lark House nursing home. As Irina and Seth forge a friendship, they become intrigued by a series of mysterious gifts and letters sent to Alma, eventually learning about Ichimei and this extraordinary secret passion that has endured for nearly 70 years. Sweeping through time and spanning generations and continents, The Japanese Lover explores questions of identity, abandonment, redemption, and the unknowable impact of fate on our lives. Written with the same attention to historical detail and keen understanding of her characters that Isabel Allende has been known for since her landmark first novel The House of the Spirits, The Japanese Lover is a profoundly moving tribute to the constancy of the human heart in a world of unceasing change.

Investing in Rental Properties for Beginners: Buy Low, Rent High
Summary
Do you have a dream of being a wealthy real-estate investor but absolutely don’t want to be a stressed-out landlord dealing with an array of bad tenants, repair calls in the middle of the night, and empty units? What if I told you rental property investing can be easy, stress free, and effortless? What if you could purchase a rental property for less than the cost of a souped-up Lexus? What if financial freedom was only two to five rental properties away? Most real-estate gurus are teaching people to invest in real estate they can’t afford and telling them to wait to enjoy their profits in 30 years. This audiobook is about investing in properties under $30,000 and becoming a wealthy real-estate investor enjoying the profits now, rather than later...with only two to five properties instead of hundreds or overly priced properties. Building a rental-property empire shouldn’t be a tough job, you shouldn’t have to worry about toilet-bowl calls in the middle of the night, and you shouldn’t pay more than $40,000 (on average) for your property. Buying rentals should be fun, easy, stress free, and affordable for most pocketbooks. Yes, I said it: affordable. This audiobook on investing in rental properties for beginners is the foundation of what I’ve built a 47,000-person social-media platform on - helping the average person get involved in rental properties on an average income and building the cash flow of their dreams with two to five properties. That’s it. This will teach you (the ordinary investor) how to tailor your investment strategy to your pocketbooks (and no one else’s). You don’t need to ask your parents or friends for loans because the best approach to building a rental portfolio is by purchasing units in modest neighborhoods that offer really high rents (i.e. purchase a $44,000 rental that earns $1,200 a month in rents). If being a real-estate investor is your dream and being a landlord is not, this is the audiobook for you! The author will personally take you through the steps she’s used on more than 560 people to build their dream income and lifestyle. Here’s some of what you’ll discover in this audiobook: Find what the best market/price for your investment portfolio should be for your budget; Learn how to invest out of state easily and effortlessly to build your portfolio; How to find low-cost properties and analyze them to make sure you are choosing the right property; How not to be swindled out of thousands by contractors; The three key factors that determine whether it’s a good deal or not; How vacancy rates is a made-up number and how to professionally analyze any rental market And more If you’re ready to turn your dreams of being a real-estate investor into a reality, then hit the "Buy Now" button!
