Real Estate Investing books/courses/articles...

[Dan Baker]

I've spent the last 2 years searching for a home for residence. I found a home approximately a year ago (short sale) and it ended up falling through at the last possible moment (week before closing). Since then I've switched gears. I have found a very low rent apartment and currently have around ~1,500 left over in disposable income. I also have $25,000 cash in hand. I'm familiar with my market and have some basic construction experience. I'd like to find and purchase a home at a reduced cost, rehab, then either sell or rent (worst case scenario I'd turn this into my permanent residence). Does anyone have any suggestions for books/articles/courses? I've tried looking online but everything I look up is either often referred to as a scam or said not to include detailed/viable information. Any help to get me started would be great.

Thanks,
