Off market strategy books

Jake Tiffany
Posted

Can you guys offer some good books for finding off market single family homes. As a first time buyer I don’t want to put all my eggs in one basket with a broker, although I’m certain they are trying their best and will eventually find a property. I’d just like to beat all the bushes I can. At this point I’m just driving for dollars and sending letters. I’d love any book recommendations for more ideas. Thanks everyone in advance.

Had you check these out? 

  1. "The Book on Investing in Real Estate with No (and Low) Money Down" by Brandon Turner
  2. "The Art of Finding Deals and Flipping Properties" by J Scott
  3. "The Ultimate Beginner's Guide to Real Estate Investing" by Mark Ferguson
  4. "Real Estate Riches: How to Become Rich Using Your Banker's Money" by Dolf de Roos
  5. "The Millionaire Real Estate Investor" by Gary Keller

In my opinion, you also need some hand on experience without taking huge risk. Try asking a local off market Realtor or flippers for mentorship and shadow them few hours a week.
