Must Read Books for Beginners

[Brendan Scherschligt]

Anyone have any must read books or articles online for people new to real estate/investing? Trying to improve my skills and assist other people in learning as well.

I've been on a bit of a reading binge for the last year and half and am going through about a book per week. I've found that books on wealth building and business success seem even more applicable to success in real estate than even many books directly related to real estate!

Here are some of the great books from that list (in my opinion) if you are serious about building private wealth and succeeding in business:

1. The Richest Man in Babylon

2. Rich Dad, Poor Dad

3. The Four Hour Work-Week

4. The Millionaire Fastlane

5. The Millionaire Next Door

6. Think and Grow Rich

7. How to Win Friends and Influence People.

8. The One Thing

9. The Miracle Morning

10. The Lean Startup

Since you asked about real estate books as well - here's a great list of the 25 best real estate books:
