Short Sale Summer Reading List

Back when I was in junior high and high school, we used to receive a summer reading list. Everyone complained when the teacher passed out the summer reading list. As I recall, there was a list of three books (boring beyond belief) that we would be required to read before the first day of school.

The best teachers would test us on the reading during the first or second week of school. So, you were doomed to begin the year with bad marks if you didn’t do the reading.

I’m not giving any tests this summer. But, if you are working short sales (or if you want to work short sales), then I’d recommend checking out these five AG posts written earlier this year. Hope you enjoy these posts and that they provide you with value! I also hope you enjoy your summer—with or without the reading list.
