Post: Good books for: buy & hold, short sales

Hello,

My interest in RE investing has changed to a more long term focus, so I'd like to know more about the strategy for buy and hold. I'm also interested in short sales because it sounds like a nice way to get good deals (though some people here seem to think this method is not that viable? I guess I'll see)

So can anyone recommend a good book for either of those subjects?

Thanks

Hello,

I'm new to real estate investing and would like to learn this business to eventually make it a solid secondary income. I have seen other people suggest to new guys that they should read the forums, but at least for me, I do not learn well this way. I need my information to be highly organized to understand it, so I think I'd benefit from a few good books.

Can anyone recommend some good books to read? I'm especially interested in buying with no money down (I have only 10k to work with). From there I don't know if it would be better to hold the property or renovate it and sell it, so I'd like some solid recommendations for either subject.

Thank you for all your advice and recommendations
