Rather Than a BUNCH of books- why not master 1?
There's an addiction new or wanna-be investors have called education addiction. They drink books, articles, podcasts, classes, etc until they have a blurry-eyed hangover and then they repeat. I recommend mastering 1 book instead. If you were to master 1 real estate investment book, or recommend mastering only 1 book to an aspiring/newer person, what book would it be? This is in regard to buy-and-hold, b/c this is the passive-income ideal for REI.

I truly believe I learned as much about plotting real estate deals by playing Dungeon and Dragons as a kid as I did by reading real estate books, etc. Anyone can learn rules, but decision making, thinking outside the box, working with others, building a team, etc. are more important skills in my opinion. And, in my opinion, playing D&D actually helped build those skills.
Ladies, sorry, I'm already married. You're gonna have to go looking for your D&D guy in some other basement. haha.
