Questions From a Newbie

Hey there everyone! So I am just now starting to learn about REI. I am currently a full time nurse but want to get involved in investing so that I can have a more secure future for myself and my future family. Some questions I have to start out would be

1) What are the first 3 books I should read?

2) Where is a good place to start? Wholesaling, rehabs, BRRRR, rental, etc... (I have looked to see if I could find a multi-family unit to house-hack, but haven't found one in my area yet).

3) At what point should I really look into doing my investing through a business entity?

4) What is some advice for someone starting out that has not yet had any experience with buying a house, working with realtors, title companies, attorneys, mortgages, or even real estate contracts of any kind?

I am only 23yo and have only been out of college for less than a year, so I don't really have any experience outside of college, work, and apartment renting.
