Michael,   A good book to purchase is "Professional Real Estate Development: The ULI guide to Business.   

I joined after reading 5-6 of the BP authored books and I've loved growing my understanding of the world of real estate investing.I made my first investment this summer and my family is partnering to make a few investments in the next year.

I recommend reading the book traction and following EOS - they have a one page business plan that is awesome to follow. any planner can work it's a matter of creating the plan and how to monitor and follow through with it which eos teaches

I have been reading Brandon Turner's "The Book on Rental Property Investing" and have learned a lot but wanted to get on here and ask for advice from everyone.

There are SO many books and podcasts out there on getting into real estate.

What I like about it is the fact I can reach out to them when I have specific questions about a topic or if I wanted more details.Information like this can be found through reading REI books and scourging YT videos.

There's a lot of tips on how to do that exactly in Avery Carl's book, Short-Term Rental, Long-Term Wealth. 

But i am here to learn, one day at time, one book at a time.
