Many real estate books fall under the radar, but they’re still worth searching for. This year hundreds of commercial and residential real estate books hit the market, as more people are investing in hard assets during our shaky economic times.

We’ve seen new books such as the “The Multifamily Millionaire,” a two-volume series co-written by Brandon Turner and Brian Murray that teaches readers to take advantage of multifamily rental properties. Then there’s “The High-Performing Real Estate Team,” written by Brian Icenhower, the CEO of Icenhower Coaching & Consulting. There have also been recent releases on disruption in CRE, guides on how to set up a stable roster of properties and real estate books that spell out the basics of investing.

From CRE bibles to investment guides, here are some of the real estate books that came out this summer and fall, along with others scheduled for next year. Don’t miss out!
