How to Start a Business - Online Courses or Books

Question

Hi BP Community,

I wanted to see if anyone has recommendations on great online video courses or any books related to starting a new business. I'm looking to expand on what I've done so far in real estate and grow it into a serious real estate business. Hoping to gain a strong business foundation, learn the basics, nuts & Bolts of starting a business, etc. Any recommendations are greatly appreciated!

I guess more of what I'm looking for is less of what business entity to put my properties in and more along the line of the nuts and bolts of starting a business. For ex: Putting a business strategy/plan together, deciding specific business roles with partners, all the info you would need to know to start your own business. I just don't want to wing it at all and would like to have a legit plan and business put in place to give me a solid foundation. I'm sure there's some things I don't know that I need to know that will help my business run smoother.

Garret Sutton's Loopholes of Real Estate is pretty good. It covers some business basics. Based on his business structure recommendations from that book, I will assume his "Start Your Own Corporation" will give you a deeper dive into that sort of stuff. He has numerous books on business entities available and is a Rich Dad adviser.
