Books by Michael R. Linton

Seventeen published titles across Florida commercial real estate, the Chicago Deal Flow series, REO acquisition strategy, and biblical wisdom. 39 years of CRE transactions and counting.

Why these books, and where the work is going

The Chicago Deal Flow series (12 titles) was published between 2023 and 2024. Many of the underlying principles — deal sourcing, portfolio construction, REO acquisition mechanics, legal-description literacy — translate directly to the Florida commercial work Mike does today through Linton Global Solutions.

The most recent titles — the New Smyrna Beach guides and the upcoming Inside 1031 Deal Flow — anchor the Florida focus. The Roar of Faith series sits separately as personal study.

All titles available on Amazon. Open the chat to discuss any of them with Mike directly.

Florida Real Estate

The current focus. Florida CRE writing — institutional 1031 strategy, Florida coastal markets, and the Volusia County / I-4 corridor work that anchors Linton Global Solutions today.

REO & Distressed Specialty

Bank-owned real estate disposition mechanics — the deeper specialty inside the broader real estate practice.

Chicago Deal Flow Series

Thirteen books on Chicago and Chicagoland CRE — the original Chicago Deal Flow series. Published over 2023–2024. Many of the principles (deal sourcing, portfolio construction, REO acquisitions, legal-description literacy) translate directly to the Florida work Mike does today.
