Recommended real estate investing beginner books

[Dan Miller]

I'm looking to start learning about real estate investing. I have a decent amount of basic knowledge on the subject, but I'd like to hear any recommendations on good authors or books that you'd recommend for a beginner. I was thinking about Real Estate investing for Dummies or some of Robert Shemin's books. Any thoughts? What about wholesaling books?

Thanks!

Dan

Ray and Dave -- Thanks for the kind words about my book.

FYI, I've just published a sequel, "Mastering Real Estate Investment -- Examples, Metrics and Case Studies," which provides additional examples of the metrics in "What Every..." as well as four detailed case studies: single-family rental, re-hab project, apartment building and strip center. It's on Amazon at

Also, McGraw-Hill has just released a second edition of "What Every Real Estate Investor Needs to Know..." which includes new material. http://www.amazon.com/Estate-Investor-Flow-Financial-Measures/dp/0071603271
