Best BP book to start out with?

Question

Question is in the title. I'm not a complete beginner but close to it (I have done vacant land flipping) and am wondering what the best BP book for me would be? I know much of the information from BP is free in terms of blog posts, podcast, YT videos and forum but I'm old school and like a comprehensive book I can crack open. It seems at first glance many of the books cover the same material.

I'm not even really sure what method/niche I want to pursue. Like many, money is an issue but I think I can put away 10-20K in the next ~2 years.

Recommendations?

Finding and Funding Good Deals by @Anson Young is a good start. If you are new, new, Set For Life by Scott Trench is also good as an overview. These are more about real estate without being too specific on the type.

Hi Tim! I'd start out with David Greene's Pillar Of Wealth, that'll really help set the foundation for your personal finances before you begin investing into building out your portfolio. Then I'd say it depends on your goals and whats interesting to you. I can certainly appreciate the preference of books to really deepen your learning -- but I'd lean on those podcasts and videos to at least give yourself a direction to go in as far as what you want to be doing. Otherwise, Rental Property Investing, Buy Rehab Rent Refinance Repeat & The House Hacking strategies are all great books that give general information about some popular strategies here on the BP Forums. Hope that helps!
