I really like Millionaire Real Estate Investor by Gary Keller, more of a general REI book and Hold, mentioned above by Gary's company also, Hold is a lot more buy and hold focused and has a lot of good and practical info like the property evaluation sheet.Another book I am in the process of reading and have heard a lot of good things is Landloridng on Autopilot by Mike Butler.Landlording is also a must have book for anyone that manages properties.Landlords Troubleshooter is also very good to read.The Landlords Kit by Jeffrey Taylor is also a great book for forms and processes.
