Otherwise, some book recommendations:- "E-Myth Revisited" by Michael Gerber- "Rich Dad, Poor Dad" by Robert Kiyosaki and Sharon Lechter (this provides a more foundational perspective on money)- "Cashflow Quadrant" by Robert Kiyosaki (further builds on the "Rich Dad, Poor Dad" foundation)- "Set for Life" by Scott Trench- "Long-Distance Real Estate Investing" by David Greene (I'm currently about half way through)- "The Book on Managing Rental Properties' by Brandon Turner and Heather Turner- "The Miracle Morning" by Hal Elrod

Quote from @Hal Lee: @Joshua Paul  I have bought three properties with them over the past 2.5 years and it has been a positive experience.

@Hal Thompson has some good points, and I am not as up to date on the Vegas market as he is, but Vegas was hit hard in the recession, and prices dropped like a rock.

Originally posted by @Hal Thompson:My gut was initially to rent to this person, because she had a kid and for the last few years had references (including a lawyer who had rented to her) who said she'd been a good tenant.Do you think maybe the attorney was lying about her being a good tenant just to get rid of her?

@Hal ThompsonThis condiiton of the place had nothing to do with not treating these people properly.

Some of my faves not already mentioned (personal development):Getting Things Done by David AllenThe Obstacle is the Way and Ego is the Enemy by Ryan HolidayThe Miracle Morning by Hal Elrod

-Hal Elrod

When Hal isn’t trying to sell his tea or daily planner he says you can get by on like 4.5 hours of sleep based on no evidence.

Kiyosaki is an expert at this but a more recent example is Hal Elrod with Miracle Morning Method.
