Then you can read a more in-depth book like The Book On Rental Property Investing by Brandon Turner or The Unofficial Guide to Real Estate Investing by Spencer Strauss.2.

Thanks to everything I’ve learned from the podcasts, books, and this community, my wife and I currently own:A triplex in MaineA single-family rental in San AntonioA single-family primary residence in Las Cruces, NM, which will become a rental when we move in a few monthsFor context, I'm an active-duty Army officer with about 12 years left until retirement, and my wife works for a university in Boston.

I had to have an awkward conversation with my favorite realtor when their broker suggested everyone had to pay a $700 “document fee” on every sale.

I know we're still ok with it because we're renting and it's booking quite a bit.

My favorite quote I got off of BP.

But books!

rates are high, prices are high, good PMs and contractors are booked up and busy, and it's very tough to find good deals. 

After couple more books and learning I restarted my investments to the limit of my W-2 employer match.

I've read J Scott's Books on flipping and gone through the Youtube rabbit hole but I feel like I'm missing a piece.

Old investors like me only invest in the subscription for pro; we don't buy courses or books (actually, I own probably 20 of their books) regularly.
