@Juan Alvarez Here are a few books that I found to be extremely clear and helpful:

The Book on Rental Property Investing by Brandon Turner (BP Book. Great intro to all things rental related)

Building Wealth One House at a Time by John Schaub (As the title would suggest, it caters to new investors. It is an awesome starting point. My only issue with this book is how much the author values appreciation in his deal analysis. Appreciation is an awesome bonus but not something a deal should rely on.)

What Every Real Estate Investor Needs to Know About Cash Flow... And 36 Other Key Financial Measures by Frank Gallinelli (This one really gets into the numbers. If I were you, I would read it after you read the other two. It's a great resource, but having a sound, general understanding of REI before you read it will make a big difference.)

I hope those help!
