The Reconstruction Resource Library

I've spent nearly thirty years as a bankruptcy and family law attorney, sitting across the desk from people on the worst day of their lives. Somewhere along the way I noticed a pattern: the people who rebuilt well weren't smarter, richer, or luckier. They just did things in the right order. The people who struggled had no framework at all.

This library is the framework I wish I could have handed every client walking out of my office. It's free, and it's going to stay free. No countdown timers, no secrets, no dream-selling. Just what actually worked — for my clients and for me — written down plainly.

One idea runs through everything here: Survive, Rebuild, Thrive — in that order. Stabilize first. Rebuild second. Optimize third. The financial world, the fitness industry, and most of the internet will try to sell you the exciting part first. Skipping the sequence is how a crisis gets longer and more expensive. These guides put it back in order.

Start wherever your reconstruction needs you most:

  • How to Rebuild Your Life After Divorce, Bankruptcy, or Crisis — the operating system: four pillars, one sequence, baby steps.

  • Rebuilding After Bankruptcy — what bankruptcy actually is, what to stop doing right now, and how people come back stronger than they expect.

  • How to Protect Yourself in a Divorce — the two wars, the screenshot rule, and the arithmetic nobody wants to run.

  • Fitness After 50 — the minimum effective dose: less than the industry claims, more than most people do.

  • Investing After a Financial Setback — build the floor before you reach for the ceiling.

  • Building a Real Estate Portfolio the Boring Way — how I bought, fixed, and rented my way through fifty-plus properties without drama.

  • The Tired Landlord's Exit — 1031 exchanges, DSTs, and UPREITs in plain English, for the landlord running on fumes.

  • Rebuilding Your Identity After a Crisis — because the hardest reconstruction isn't legal or financial. It's you.

If you want the condensed version of the whole system, the free Reconstruction Toolkit pulls the core checklists and first steps into one download: TheReconstructionSystem.com/toolkit. And the complete series — eleven books across Law, Money, Body, and Identity — is on Amazon at amazon.com/author/davidreinherz. Each book stands alone. Start wherever your reconstruction needs you most.
