Need recommendation for beginner real estate investing books/material

[Tess Faczan]

Hi everyone, I'm new to investing and very interested in learning about buying and holding, and lease options on single family homes, and also on setting up a legal entity as a real estate investor. Does anyone have any recommendations on up-to-date material and resources I can begin learning without having to spend hundreds of dollars on education. I live in southern California, but will probably be doing most of my investing in Indiana, Tennessee, Missouri, and Georgia. :lol:
