You must be commuting a ways if Rich is only an hour a way and you are (working) in Arlington.

These are some of the steps I have taken.Books I have read- Rich Dad Poor Dad- Cashflow Quadrant- Rich Dad’s Guide to Investing- The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People- Investing in Duplexes, Triplexes & Quads (need to read again)- BiggerPockets: The Ultimate Beginner’s Guide ( Reading now)- What Every Real Estate Investor Needs to Know about Cash Flow (Reading now)Books on the reading list- Do Less and Achieve More- The Millionaire Next Door- The 8th Habit- The Edge- Real Estate Riches- Creating Weather- Flip by Rick Villani & Clay Davis- Think and Grow RichI am also listening to the BiggerPockets podcast and a few others.
