Wes, I think this is an interesting question and can only give you my personal reading habits, others may and probably do differ. I read books for real estate differently than I do other types of books, e.g., novels, tax books, etc. When I read real estate books, I tend to look at the table of contents first and flip through to those chapters for the content I am seeking. For example, if I were seeking to learn more about Multi Family properties, I would go straight to that chapter and read it first. So, in short, I treat real estate books as a collection of resource materials that I would put back on my shelf for later reference. As for reading real estate books cover to cover, I don't tend to do that. For example, if I were reading a book and there was a chapter on how to hold the real estate in an entity, trust or individually, I would likely skip that section since I do that for a living. I hope this helps, Good Luck out there and keep reading BP, there are some very good conversations here and it is a true community.
