John T. Reed's books will keep you out of trouble. Try to see past the bashing and think positively though.
Just do a Google search on John T. Reed. You should read his "Positive Cash Flow" article before you buy anything. That is a first exercise for any of my mentoring students.
Ray Alcorn's article on, "Deriving YOUR Capitalization Rate" is a great read too.
If you understand those two articles you will be ahead of 95% of the other folks out there underwriting deals.

Bill Nickerson's book "How I turned $1000 Into Five Million in Real Estate - in My Spare Time is still the best primer. First published in 1959, it has been the basis of many successful real estate investment careers, including my own!
