Hi All,

Just curious, what are some books that you would recommend someone new to real estate investing read before buying properties? I have already purchased a single family rental that is doing well and has decent cash flow, and am looking to close on a second rental property, a duplex, where I will occupy one of the units. So I have a little bit of experience with rental properties, but absolutely no experience with house flipping, which is what I want to get into in the Spring of 2016.

What books would you recommend I read to learn more about this business? I've already read Scott J's book and learned a lot, but want to keep learning.

The ABCs of Real Estate Investing by Ken Mcelroy is what propelled me in the direction of Multi-Family units investing. It was an excellent read
