Listen to the Real Estate Rookie podcast, read this beginner's guide and some of the books targeted at beginners, attend webinars and the like.

I have an MBA with an emphasis in finance, and personal finance is a hobby of mine, so while I'm comfortable with many of the concepts I'm learning about, my wife has fairly low financial literacy and next-to-no investment/real estate literacy.I've "assigned" her Rich Dad, Poor Dad, not necessarily because I think it's the best book ever (there were a number of concept presentations that didn't really resonate with me), but because it seemed like a very adequate beginner's primer for financial mindset shifting.What I would really appreciate is if someone could recommend a book or two, or a couple of specific podcast episodes, that I can give to my wife so that she can start learning enough to be involved in some of the decision-making process.Thank you to everyone for the helpful advice given on these forums; it's been a great resource for me, and I hope we'll get to the point where it's a great resource for my wife.

As a beginner, you can learn a lot from your uncle with a few rentals in another state or a co-worker that's on their second house hack.

Because, house hacking is comparatively simple and beginner-friendly (and therefore has the highest likelihood of success), but strategies like BRRR'ing, flipping, wholesaling, out of state investing, etc. are far more complicated, and have a far higher chance of failure because they involve so many "moving pieces".I always use this analogy: would you tell a beginner skier who has zero experience to ski a double black diamond (the most advanced terrain) for their first run?
