The Small Town Investor

Real Struggles, Real Freedom, and Real Estate

By: Dave Drew

Narrated by: Douglas Martin

Belief + Decision + Action = Real Results.

Languishing in a 9-5 job, struggling with personal relationships, and wondering how he will ever escape the grind, the author shares how he overcame personal struggles and real-world setbacks to build a life beyond his wildest dreams. The Small Town Investor is a deeply personal book about achieving financial freedom through real estate investing, strategic thinking, and lifestyle management.

The book offers a straightforward and accessible path to success. Mistakes, failures, and tragedies — the author navigates through them all, using each as a learning opportunity. The stories highlight that ordinary people can achieve extraordinary goals by adopting a positive mindset, making firm decisions, and taking consistent action. Living paycheck to paycheck and waiting for society to tell you to start enjoying your life doesn’t work. If you want to make a change, it starts here, right now.

Let’s go!

Honest and Enlightening

An honest and humble account of the realities of daring to take a chance on yourself. I especially appreciated the author’s vulnerability and willingness to share both the wins and the struggles. It was a great listen—I felt like the author was sitting across from me at a coffee shop, speaking candidly about their journey. If you’re interested in real world real estate investing, this book is absolutely worth your time.
