REI Rookie! Next book suggestions!

[Brock Barr]

Hi everyone!

I have heard about Bigger Pockets for approximately a year now and decided to give it a try. After listening to the first 9 BP rookie podcasts and finishing up “How To Invest In Real Estate” in the last week, I am hooked! I am 26 years old with uncertainty on which route I would like to take for beginning my real estate journey.

As an individual who is new to this industry, I was hoping to see if others who were once in my shoes have suggestions and/ or advice on which books to read next.

Thank you!

@Brock Barr here's some "advice:" stop reading books and start talking to locals at REI meetings.

Reading a couple of books, listening to some podcasts is great but you can very easily fall into the trap of analysis paralysis and wake up in 15 years having bought NO real estate ever, but having read hundreds of books. How much will your financial situation improve if you read 100 books but never actually do anything?

But please, I’m not criticizing. These books make you think that you need to learn more before starting. They make you feel inadequate and doubt yourself. Why?  They want you to buy books, more books, then subscriptions to “exclusive content,” then a 3-day “boot camp” in Vegas for $25k.
