If you have a local law school (state university is best since they are supported by your tax dollars), check out the law library to see if they have LexisNexis access.

My point is that some of this is a transition from the legacy "PC world" to the "mobile world".

Get it at your library or used.2) Investing in Apartment Buildings by Matthew Martinez: Very good book where the author "speaks to you"These are the two books I recommend to friends who are interested in buy and holdRead these and/then comb through right here on BP to give you the most real world insight until you get your own real world insight.

@Drew ClementsI know this may sound really stupid, but I have found that getting out of the house and going to the library works for studying. 

I am ecstatic to have the BP Library in my back pocket.Off to start my blog - a great tool to keep myself accountable and let others know what I am doing!

My goal is to be a full-time investor who does a little bit of library work on the side.

I have to say the BP podcasts are very addictive and a great way to get yourself into the fast track with investing - In regards to reading real-estate books - I have found that audio books are a much faster medium to get your information in - Your local library should have enough to hold you over, however the most bang for your buck is to listen to the BP podcasts.

It's like having a library at my disposal..

The library was my friend, later replaced by BiggerPockets.
