I do not belong to the Zillow world however I can see this happening.Please post your thoughts, YEA or NAY.https://thenationalrealestatepost.com/zillow-conti...

Probably too many to list, but another book I often recommend to newbies is "Buying Real Estate Without Cash or Credit" by Peter Conti and David Finkel.

@Jon GormanI suggest a blend of dividend aristocrat stocks, a managed fund (BRK.A and B), and a real estate syndicate with a reputable operator.

@Jon Gorman the etf NOBL (dividend aristocrats) pays out less than 3.14%.

Also, no one found that Conti/Norton premise proved to be true.

Additionally if your goal is passive income, dividend stocks are the holy grail, forget about real estate altogether and skip right to collecting "Aristocrat" stocks. 

These books should provide a good foundation:------------------------------"Commercial Real Estate for Dummies"Peter Conti, Peter HarrisISBN 978-0-470-17491-3"Commercial Real Estate Investing 101"David LindahlISBN 978-0-470-38035-2 (cloth)"Multi-Family Millions"David LindahlISBN 978-0-470-26760-8 (cloth)"The Complete Guide to Buying and Selling Apartment Buildings"Steve BergesISBN 0-471-43639-9"The ABC's of Property Management"Ken McElroyISBN-13: 978-0-446-53831-2ISBN-10: 0-446-53831-0"Principles of Real Estate Syndication", 3rd editionSamuel K.

I received this e-mail from a guy who obviously works or affiliated with Peter Conti.

With direction now you can decide if you want to buy a particular course to school you on a subject like ron legrands wholesaling or shemin or conti and finkle on apt investing or landlording or don trumps development, or larry loftis or john beck in tax deed investing and so on.
