The Gilded Blueprint: From Debt to a Property Empire - tristyn kalama

Burdened by eighty thousand dollars of debt, interior designer Lena Lin is publicly fired by the elite firm she helped enrich. With her last savings, she buys an unwanted wreck of a house—and discovers that touching a building lets her see its highest restored value, hidden defects, and best possible use. Beginning with one ruined home, Lena combines hard-won expertise, disciplined operations, and her uncanny Value Sight to revive a failing hotel, a dead mall, and a forgotten estate, building an international transformation group. But her former boss hunts every deal she touches, while the same thorn-lily crest appears inside each exceptional property. As Lena's fortune rises, the mystery of her birth draws her into a battle for control of the world's largest real-estate dynasty.
