You get a cookbook with a recipe that looks good, discover a great fried chicken meal, and make your grocery list of ingredients to make a meal for your family.

I realize there is no recipe / cook book for what will work.  

My girlfriend and I were thinking of maybe a wine rack or cookbook holder. 

The problem is that most folks don't follow the cook book because it's work.

People cook books to benefit themselves - to look good with lenders and buyers.You need to see the gross rent, the expenses  - take one form the other and you get the NOI - divide that into the  the asking price to get the CAP rate.Buyers and Sellers are lairs - get the facts, make em prove it and make an offer based on you desired return.

This is like asking someone if they liked a movie, unfortunately, two people can walk away with a totally different outcome and view point.. the info at Dave's bootcamp is enough to get someone going and to make offers on up to 200 units and understand what they are doing the whole time, which is really all you need, there are many places, like bigger pockets to get all the information needed to accomplish this same goal, but like following a recipe in a cook book, what is better, the cook book with all the info you need to follow, or the chef standing there next to you making sure you use the exact precise ingredients? 

It is a good spot for cookbooks or spices.If you get a corner cupboard, raise the cupboard on the wall on the left (last one to the right of the sink) up so the tops are all at the same level. 

I just got a ninja foodie and am cooking every recipe in the cookbook.

We probably don't need more resourcesYour comment: "The reason why real estate has become unaffordable for the middle class is because we have too many consultants, books, seminars, videos, websites"That's like saying "The reason why bread has become unaffordable for the middle class is because we have too many bakers, cook books, bakeries, videos of making bread &  websites selling bread."

It needs warmth - plants (fake are fine) and something personal - like cookbooks, poetry, game of chess, glasses and wine glasses + sippy cups??
