Books or podcasts to learn RE lingo and math?

[Diana Grigoryan]

Hi all,

I’m completely new to real estate investing. I watch some YouTube videos and listen to podcasts (mainly Grant Cardone but open to more informative ones, too) and just got his book How to Create Wealth with Real Estate. I am interested in this sphere and would like to learn the terminology, how to do the math and all basics of RE. 

A little about me:  I’m from NYC, in my mid 20s and have some money saved up that I’d like to put to work but need to know more about what to do with it. I am looking into moving to Texas soon, so I know I’ll most likely have a pay cut if I do. I’ve never worked in sales but I think that’s what I need to experience in order to grow my income (my current job is completely unrelated to anything here). Do you think it’s nexessary to be a broker or get a real estate license to be successful? 

Thanks in advance!
