Success Story
Limited Partner Investing is a guide that inspires everyday investors to move beyond safe bets and discover how funding local businesses, franchises, and partnerships can build personal wealth and strong communities. Why was this an important book for you to write?
I was in a Half Price Bookstore one day, and while looking through the bargain book section, I located a book entitled “Stock Investing.” I then decided to write a book entitled Limited Partner Investing.
In your research, which real-world success story stood out most?
Limited partnership businesses are about cash-cows and modern-day ‘gold mines.’ My favorite modern-day gold mine is the golf driving range. People in the small business industry decided, in the 1970s, that a golf driving range is a modern day gold mine. Why? Because, believe me, golf driving ranges just make money. Anyway, I have interviewed a lot of business owners over the course of my lifetime. And all of these people, every single one of them, shared something with me about how they turned their local business into a local success story.

Limited Partner Investing
Limited Partner Investing lays out the world of limited partner investing in a straightforward way. It explains how people can move beyond low-risk investments like CDs and mutual funds and instead look at opportunities to fund local businesses, franchises, and community ventures. The author weaves history, like the aftermath of the 1930 stock market crash, with modern examples of cash cow franchises and real estate partnerships. There are sections on how LPs work, what perks they bring, the risks involved, and how they can build both income and community. This is a guidebook for people curious about diversifying their portfolio with something more hands-on and connected to real communities.
This is not a dry finance book stuffed with numbers and charts. It feels more like a friend giving you a pep talk about why you shouldn’t just park your money in the safest corner of the room. The writing carries an energy that kept me flipping the pages. I liked how the author tied in friendship, networking, and local pride with money matters. It gave the topic a human touch. On the flip side, I did wish the book had gone deeper into case studies or hard data. I wanted to see more real-world examples of success and failure.
The sentences are short and punchy, which makes the book easy to follow and quick to digest. The style feels conversational. There’s a contagious enthusiasm in the writing, and it’s clear the author genuinely believes in limited partner investing as a path to both wealth and stronger communities. That passion made me pause and imagine investing as something personal and tangible, not just numbers in a faceless market. It’s a powerful idea that sticks with you.
Limited Partner Investing is best for beginners who want to get excited about investing outside the box. If you’ve only ever thought about stocks and mutual funds, this gives you a peek at another path. It’s not a textbook. It’s more of a spark, an encouragement to join an investor club, talk to local business owners, and think bigger about your money.
