I will take a look at Brandon's book. I

I've got Glenn Beck's Book and a signed, numbered, collector's edition copy of Sarah Palin's book!!! I

Read the Vollucci book...I think it will provide some interesting insight in this area...Just as numerous scholarly studies have shown that the number of actively-managed mutual funds that outperform the market (i.e. the index for the relevant asset class) are no more than one would expect from pure chance, I'm sure there are plenty of ill-conceived techniques for REI market evaluationKeep in mind that mutual fund managers aren't necessarily your best barometer of whether actively managed investments can be long-term diversification.

Anytime BiggerPockets recommends a book, I but it used and read it.

A good book list for you to further your education is http://www.biggerpockets.com/renewsblog/2013/04/14/best-real-estate-books/Another good book I like is Equity Happens.

Also the market has appreciated so rapidly out there so home prices are generally in the 130-160 range as opposed to by me where they are probably 150-170 for what I'm looking at.The house is listed as a two bedroom but because of a large living room extension, following some of the advice I read in Brandons first book I realized it could be easily converted into a three bedroom house.Anyway hoping to hear back soon from the bank (reo house) about my offer, but I just wanted to say through what Ive learned on here and from the podcast and books and yes even a seminar or two lol, Ive come to learn to think more like an investor and now Im starting to use that to my advantage.This will be my year.

Its the best book I know about that will start you off with what you need to get into rental properties the right way.

You should take some time to search the BP site, read through the Ultimate bigginers guide, and if you want to do some creative deals the no/low money down book (I just finished it & it was great.You said multifamily, but how many units/doors are you looking to start with?
