New to REI: what 5 books would you read?
Hey everyone,
I'm looking to get into real estate investing in the next year or two, but I want a full education (or as much of an education I can get from books) before I even think about making my first deal. I have a high-paying, full-time job that I'm not looking to replace, but rather supplement with passive income and tax breaks in the future (ie buy & hold with a management company).
What books would you recommend for a newbie like me? Here's my tentative list:
1) The Book on Rental Property Investing by Brandon Turner
2) The Book on Managing Rental Properties by Brandon & Heather Turner
3) What Every Real Estate Investor Needs to Know About Cash Flow... And 36 Other Key Financial Measures, Updated Edition by Frank Gallinelli
4) Hold: how to find, buy, and rent houses for wealth by Gary Keller
5) The happy couple's guide to investing in real estate : a comprehensive manual for working together as a couple to build a brighter future by Chakib Jaber
- Admittedly, this last one is help quell my wife's anxiety about REI
What are you thoughts on my book list? Any suggestions of your own?
