I am in the Keller area.

Some brokers like Keller Williams and Reamax have teams, which is good because usually the team leader is a top producer and will hand you some referrals they don't want to bother with because they are too small of a deal.

I live on podcasts/audiobooks for my daily commute and I wouldn't be in real estate if I hadn't randomly downloaded Millionaire REI by Gary Keller on a whim.Great job Marty Boardman, Joshua Dorkin, and Brandon Turner!

Heres a thread I found in a matter of seconds: http://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/79/topics/66243-what-are-the-best-re-investment-books-you-ever-readMy suggestion: Read all of Gary Keller's books, you can't go wrong with him.

One I like a lot is The Millionaire Real Estate Investor by Gary Keller of Keller Williams.

Also chatting with Brett Stone of Real Estate Pros and Barb Mattis of Keller Williams.

My name is Steve Baldwin and I am a landlord and real estate agent with Keller Williams.I would love to partner up with investors who are looking to "burn and turn."

hi i just got my licensein retro spec i should have gone with keller william or remax or a boutique brokerageb/c iam with big box.

The first two books (Keller/Villani) are very good, and I highly recommend them to any aspiring investor.The next two books (Strauss/Eldred) I wasn't thrilled with and I wouldn't recommend.

I would suggest the bigger pockets beginner guide its a great one, also you have to read Gary Keller's The Millionaire Real Estate Investor, its very similar to this website it gives you practicable advice that you can move on.
