Any good audiobooks to gain knowledge of rental prop investing?

[Jared Weaver]

hi everyone, not to sure if this has been covered before and if so, I apologize.  I do a lot of driving and was wondering if anyone had GLOWING RECOMMENDATIONS for an audio book that has helped them gain increased knowledge regarding owning, investing in, running buy and hold rental properties such as single homes, duplexes, triplexes and so on.  Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated.  THANKS!

I'm in the same position where i'm driving a TON lately.  6 hour round trip from Minneapolis, to Two Harbors once a week.  And it's not an audiobook, but the Bigger Pockets Podcast is seriously FILLED with information.  And from all sorts of different investors/perspectives.  I think they have like 150 episodes, each of which is an hour long.  I've listened to 30 so far, and I feel so much more informed and inspired by them.  Their guests also give book suggestions, which I have taken note of, and even downloaded a few audio books that I intend to listen to once I catch up on the podcasts.

Not totally REI related but the one that I have recommended to all my friends and family is the 10X Rule by Grant Cardone. I wanted to listen to it after hearing his podcast where he said that he read the book himself and there was more info in the audio book than in the paper version.

He is right, he reads the book like he is talking to you and it is entertaining as all get out. I was a bit leery of the book because I assumed that it was going to be "set your goals 10X as high and then work 10X harder than everyone else to get there." And, well, it is. I don't necessarily subscribe to that, I'm more of a work/life balance guy, but I can tell you I love his attitude and mentality and was pretty much ready to take on the entire world all by my self every time I listened to it.

So, not educational but definitely motivational along with many good take-aways. Just make sure you get the version he reads himself. I got it from a free trial on Audible.

I agree with all the recommendations from @Jesse Lynch and @Edward B., 

As far as real estate books, I would also recommend:

1. The ABCs of Real Estate Investing by Ken McElroy

2. The Book on Investing in Real Estate with No and Low Money Down by BP's own Brandon Turner

In addition, here are some of my favorite, non-real estate audible.com purchases, starting with my new favorite (totally a game-changer in my opinion)

1. Six Months to Six Figures by Peter Voogd (narrated by Peter)

2. The One Thing by Gary Keller (narrated by Gary)

3. Pitch Anything by Oren Klaff (narrated by Oren)

4. Sell or Be Sold by Grant Cardone (also narrated by Grant)

5. The Richest Man in Babylon by George Clason

6. How to Win Friends and Influence People by Dale Carnegie

Enjoy!
