@Alex Deacon thank you I'll make sure they are on the list

Hello my name is Saul Arredondo I was never the guy to like school but I love money. Me and school never got along. I love to learn....but only on things that I like... In school I didn't like anything but simple math and simple economy, my senior year that I took it. Over that last 5 month I learn about Bigger Pockets YouTube channel and I've been watching since...took me about a month to actually join this group because at first I didn't believe if it was free...started watching the podcast and then I said well if I want to really get into investing I must start reading. Again I hated to read, 1 because i would get bored and stop, and 2 because i get distracted and i would have to re-read the page...but I learn now it's because i didnt grab the right books, you see now i just started reading books I have read just a few 6 in the last 2 month RICH DAD POOR DAD FOR TEENS (this one I read years back maybe when I was 15..im going to get rich dad poor dad soon) THE MILLIONAIRE REAL ESTATE INVESTOR INVESTING IN FIXER UPPERS HOLD HOW TO FIND, BUY, RENT HOUSES THE BOOK ON RENTAL PROPERTY INVESTING SET FOR LIFE HOW TO INVEST IN DUPLEX TRIPLES AND QUAD So now i have a question for y'all. What books do you recommend is a must read real estate or business or even motivational ones. What has helped you in your business. I'm going to order RICH DAD POOR DAD, THE E MYTH, THE 10X RULE and a few others but I want to buy a bunch to have so I don't run out like I just did hahah I thought it was going to take me a year to read the 6 books i had because reading was never my thing. I'm glad it only took me 2 months. I feel very proud about it. Thank you Saul Arredondo

I want to say thank you for your feedback @Mike Cumbie @Peter Mckernan and @Nathan G. "better call saul" my business cards lol I did a little more research and how much it'll cost and I have to save up a good 6 month of living expense plus marketing if I really want to succeed. it's funny because I could use that money for a downpayment on a rental property or I could use that to invest in getting my license . I'm going with getting my license because that way I can make more money if I really focus. and since I'm living on the small income, I could continue to spend the same way, and the extra money I make use that to invest in real estate.

Hello everyone my name is Saul Arredondo I'm 23 years old and im working a job that i only make roughly 25k a year. I've been learning about real estate investing for only few month and I see this as a way to financial freedom.  Today I decided to invest in getting my real estate license. I decided to do it because I want to get an insight into real estate and I see I can learn even more. I see it that if I get my license and work hard in it I can make more money than my current W2. Currently I'm reading SET FOR LIFE by Scott Trench and if you have read it youll know its for the average medium earner of 50k a year. He shows how to be frugal and save 25k. How am I going to save my whole income. My only option is to change my job... I really like the book because it's showing me how to be frugal and how I should scale my income. So since I want to be a real estate investor. I can start off by changing my current situation and becoming an agent. I am curious if any have been in my situation and if so how do you manage it. Also I live in southern California and was wondering if there is better real estate firm than others. Thank you for your input and have a great day Saul Arredondo

@Karen Margrave thank you I'll look into it

welcome I'm also new around here and I'm trying to get in the business but for rental properties I live here in southern Cali but trying to invest out of state best of luck to you good sir

@Paul Allen I see thank you for that okay so anything under 5 years is a higher risk and if I were to leave it for longer than 5 years for longer term then it's beneficial

@Caleb Heimsoth thank you I'll look into those ... so I can also start investing a soon as possible ...after doing my due diligence that is

@Ned Carey thank you i will do research on them and yes it will be a short term maybe around a year or 2
