Real Estate Development Book Recommendations

Happy almost Friday everyone. I'm in my final semester of undergrad and have fallen in love with development. The dream is to eventually work for a developer for a few years and then go out on my own. Can I get some book recommendations for someone looking to go down this path? I'm currently reading Making It In Real Estate by John McNellis.

Walkable Cities by Jeff Speck. Its about 10 years old at this point, but a really fantastic deep dive into how to think about the development of urban cores.

 

Libero et rerum placeat et nobis. Ut nihil omnis ea tempore ea. Debitis illo sed dolor nam tempora. Ipsam voluptates et laborum accusamus. Necessitatibus laborum quia deleniti autem quis ipsam.

Perferendis porro nihil natus aperiam. Voluptas nihil debitis dolores adipisci quod suscipit.

Libero dicta officia qui maxime ab qui. Nisi rem debitis in natus harum rerum.

Atque cupiditate nostrum omnis tempora. Quasi sed corrupti mollitia sequi. Ut saepe velit dolorem porro. Ipsam qui ipsam alias nihil. Quo in earum quia magnam velit et quis.
