@Bill F. you said it a bit more PC than I would have :) So many try and time the market perfect.

A classic buy and hold rental book is Landlording by the late Leigh Robinson, often in local libraries or very low cost used. 

It was just a book I ran across at the public library in my hometown in 1993.I read that book cover-to-cover.

I’ve not had any issues on a PC or iPad, any recent updates to whatever device you’re using? 

I'll try to dig it up when I'm back at my PC! 

@Russell Shannon,Go to the library, and buy some books on wholesaling for free, and then try it out.     

If you want my full library, PM me.

You can find the top 50 Realtors in the Jacksonville Book of Lists at the Main Library.

If your current interest is in learning the more technical requirements of being a real estate agent without actually becoming one, check your local library as they may have textbooks or online access to them for free.
