<p>Our book this month is <em>The Private Equity Playbook</em> by Adam Coffey</p><p>At first glance, this might look like a corporate finance book. Something meant for Wall Street dealmakers. But that would be the wrong conclusion.</p><p>Because at its core, private equity is about something very familiar: buying assets, improving them, and exiting at a profit.</p><p>That’s real estate.</p><p>And what this book does exceptionally well is lay out the rules of that game—clearly, practically, and without a lot of academic theory.</p><p>-------------</p><p>**Real Estate Espresso Podcast:**<br> Spotify: [The Real Estate Espresso Podcast](<a href="https://open.spotify.com/show/3GvtwRmTq4r3es8cbw8jW0?si=c75ea506a6694ef1" target="_blank">https://open.spotify.com/show/3GvtwRmTq4r3es8cbw8jW0?si=c75ea506a6694ef1</a>)  <br> iTunes: [The Real Estate Espresso Podcast](<a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/the-real-estate-espresso-podcast/id1340482613" target="_blank">https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/the-real-estate-espresso-podcast/id1340482613</a>)  <br> Website: [<a href="http://www.victorjm.com/" target="_blank">www.victorjm.com</a>](<a href="http://www.victorjm.com/" target="_blank">http://www.victorjm.com</a>)  <br> LinkedIn: [Victor Menasce](<a href="http://www.linkedin.com/in/vmenasce" target="_blank">http://www.linkedin.com/in/vmenasce</a>)  <br> YouTube: [The Real Estate Espresso Podcast](<a href="http://www.youtube.com/@victorjmenasce6734" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/@victorjmenasce6734</a>)  <br> Facebook: [<a href="http://www.facebook.com/realestateespresso%5D(http://www.facebook.com/realestateespresso)" target="_blank">www.facebook.com/realestateespresso](http://www.facebook.com/realestateespresso)</a>  <br> Email: [<a href="mailto:[email protected]" target="_blank">[email protected]</a>](mailto:<a href="mailto:[email protected]" target="_blank">[email protected]</a>)  <br>**Y Street Capital:**<br> Website: [<a href="http://www.ystreetcapital.com/" target="_blank">www.ystreetcapital.com</a>](<a href="http://www.ystreetcapital.com/" target="_blank">http://www.ystreetcapital.com</a>)  <br> Facebook: [<a href="http://www.facebook.com/YStreetCapital%5D(https://www.facebook.com/YStreetCapital)" target="_blank">www.facebook.com/YStreetCapital](https://www.facebook.com/YStreetCapital)</a>  <br> Instagram: [@ystreetcapital](<a href="http://www.instagram.com/ystreetcapital" target="_blank">http://www.instagram.com/ystreetcapital</a>)  <br></p>
