Another one is "10x" by Grant Cardone, and the 4 Hour Work Week by Tim Ferris.If you are brand new to REI, I would definitely recommend "The Book on Rental Property Investing" by @Brandon Turner.

Expect 70+ hour work weeks. 

I'd suggest that crushers set a goal when to not do 60--80 or more hour work-weeks. 

Read books like Rich Dad Poor Dad, Millionaire Next Door, both of Brandon Turner's books No and Low Money Down, 4 Hour Work Week, Never Split the Difference, and many more.  

Not very 4 Hour Work Week of me to start, but I also want to learn the ropes myself before I start taking on the idea of identifying a reputable PM that I trust with my property.

Other books that have had a profound influence on my life include; Margin of Safety by Seth Klarmann, Rich Dad Poor Dad by Robert Kiyosaki, as well as The 4 Hour Work Week by Time Ferris.

I just finished reading 4 hour work week

I started listening to the audio book "The four hour workweek" and I am coming to realize the absolute wealth is not as high as you think it is when you consider how it interacts with time wealth.

After being given The 4 Hour Work Week and then Rich Dad Poor Dad forever ago. 

I'm not saying you can't do it, but forget about a 40-hour work week.
