Many solid and popular books about rental property investing have already been recommended here, so I'll suggest some less obvious reads...Liar's Poker (Michael Lewis) for pure entertainment and a primer on how Wall Street supports liquidity in the housing market.Home (Witold Rybczynski) to appreciate the many different ways people want to live inside their homes.What Every Real Estate Investor Needs to Know About Cash Flow (Frank Gallinelli) to understand when and how to deploy key financial metrics to make better decisions.Handyman In-Your-Pocket (Richard Young & Thomas Glover) to be your own handyman and/or check up on contractors and subs you hire to work on your rentals.Have fun and don't forget that you'll learn more by doing your first actual deal than you will from all the books in the world.

However, if I find something that fits my flip criteria, Ill entertain it.

And many typical entertainment and recreational activities are still closed or operating at reduced capacity, leading some households to save more at the very time they realize they could use much more money.

We now live in Cabarrus County -- a bit further out -- more rural where we are now and not as close to much as far as entertainment and such is concerned. 

There have been a few really rewarding experiences with some folks I have helped along the way but 99% of folks want me to entertain them.

Yes, I am entertained.

Another new draw for SE Austin / Bastrop is the Circuit of the Americas, which just announced a new NASCAR race series and the creation of a water park and other entertainment. 

I have had success within the DFW, but am wanting to entertain the idea of branching out further to the cities that I first mentioned.

Heck you even made it entertaining lol.

If I have to wait 5 years to find something that works, I'm willing to do that.If you find an awesome lease for a fair price, I'd sure entertain the idea though.
