Please read 4 hour Work Week by Tim Ferris.

@Ryan Florida Here are a few good reads: What every Real Estate investor needs to know about Cash Flow by Frank GallinelliThe Millionaire Real Estate Investor by Gary KellerThe E myth by Michael GerberFour Hour work week by Tim Ferriss

Currently rereading "Rich Dad, Poor Dad" and "4 Hour Workweek"

I did get him to start reading "Four Hour Work Week" to help (re-)motivate him to help me focus on chasing financial independence.

@Jay Hinrichs  That is why we read The 4-hour Work Week and we systemize everything and hire VAs to do most of it for us :-)

If you haven't read 4 Hour Work Week it is another good book. 

Off topic- Finally read The 4-hour work week by Timothy Ferriss and I LOVED it.

Or as Tim Ferris says in the 4 Hour Work Week “Go On An Information Dietâ€.

I blame The 4 Hour Workweek :) For me, I enjoy the satisfaction of taking care of a problem, and would much rather fix a leak in the rain than spend my afternoon in a smokey casino, watching TV, sleeping, or in any other way being lazy.

Some books that have been suggested here are Landlording, the four hour work week  and my favorite The E-Mythe revisted.
