Any books you would recommend for beginners?

Hi BP !

I just turned 18 and I know real estate will be my path ! I’m currently working on my real estate license and I have a family friend who flips and does rentals so I have someone who can start to mentor me. I was just wondering of any books that helped you on your journey ! I have read BP’s “ how to invest in real estate “ and “ Rich dad poor dad “ and a few others but I’m interested in any more you guys would suggest. Thanks !

Amazing! I wish I was exposed to the F.I. Community and Real Estate Investing when I was that age, the second best time is right now! You're off to a great start and you have the right mindset, keep learning, keep reading, keep progressing in your journey with real estate. There is no "destination" when you get into something like this, it's just one continuous journey and adventure for those who choose to enjoy it!

Start with Set for Life then read The House Hacking Strategy. Do what it tells you, these are the foundations of personal finance and will have a drastic affect on your financials before you start investing in real estate. 

Read BRRRR and Investing in Real Estate with no (and low) money down. This will be beneficial if you're interested in flips or the BRRRR strategy and understand the velocity of money and how that can expand your portfolio exponentially.

Read Rich Dad's Cashflow Quadrant as well. This is his best book. Trust me it will change your perspective and help you understand who reads these types of books based off how others live and how others spend their money and more importantly, their time.

Books are amazing but also look into Podcasts and Audible, these will help escalate your education. Good luck, you're on the fast track to wealth! Hope this helps! Cheers!
