Thank you to everyone for your suggestions!! You guys are awesome. 

@Femi AKINWALE I do love reading, yes, but I'm also visual & would looooove to actually shadow and/or talk to someone. Reading can only take you so far lol, I'm hoping to actually connect with people in real life! :)

@Ana Coello Brandon's book(s) seem very popular, I'm going to give this one a read for sure! J Scott's seems like a good one once I'm a little further down the road! Ty!! :)

@Roemeo Barnette thanks for the reco! No money/low money down is definitely right up my alley lol & I'm really interested in the creative aspect of investing to get around money limitations!

@Trevor Brown thanks a lot!! Both of those look great :)

@Troy Wyland I appreciate the reco's! I love podcasts too, especially BP. I get at least 2 episodes in per day during my work commute! Dealing with people can definitely be tricky at times but it's necessary to form good relationships in order to succeed (I think), so I think I'll definitely check out Go Giver! Ty!!

So I'm definitely the type of person who likes to be prepared and feel well-versed/knowledgable before I do most things. With that being said, I'm educating myself on REI first before making any big moves or decisions. In an effort to save money, I went to the library yesterday versus buying on Amazon & picked up the following books:

1. The Beginner's Guide to Real Estate Investing 2nd Edition - Gary W. Eldred

2. Rich Dad's Cash Flow Quadrant - Robert Kiyosaki

3. Rich Dad's Guide to Investing - Robert Kiyosaki

4. Investing in Real Estate - Gary W. Eldred

5. Trump University Real Estate 101 - Gary W. Eldred

I'd like to know if anyone found any of these valuable/are they a good use of my time? Also, if you can please recommend any other "must-reads", I'd love to know what those are. Note: I've already read Rich Dad Poor Dad. I'm a beginner so beginner-friendly recommendations are appreciated. Also open to personal development/motivational books as well, as I know having the right mindset is key.

Thanks for your help!
