@Virginia Reasor I used http://trainagents.com/They have text format and audio.

Depends on the location.For example with real data analysis, I knew in Honolulu 3 BR /luxury is better in terms of cost revenue efficiency but in Maui, 1 BR/studio is better.Also recessionary environment usually only lasts up to 12-18 months so not good to be used to measure success.

I'm in the middle of listening to the audio book of e-myth.

I am very passionate about Real Estate, I listen to lot of Audio Books on Real Estate when commuting to work.

Can you find a 3-4 bedroom house in a A or B class area where you can split off the master into a studio with separate access?

My landlord sold her house so I'm currently subletting in Studio City for a few months, hoping to buy so I don't want to sign a lease just yet..The dream house is in Reseda, I assume I'll need to look in the valley/east LA areas due to my price range.

In addition, there are many studios around the $1k.

Third unit is a studio and is currently rented out for $450.

I am  real estate agent in Utah, whom is focusing on buy and hold, with the occasional flip.I was on BP a while back and have listened to most of Brandon's podcasts.I have read cover to cover The Book on Investing in Real Estate with No (and Low) Money DownThe Book on Flipping HousesThe Book on Estimating Rehab Costs I have listened to the entire The 2012 Bigger Pockets Summit - Conference Audio My goal is to build a JV relationship with a investor to get started.Hard work does not scare me!

This also goes for the pricing, size, and layout of the room - a cheap studio will attract a certain kind of people, whereas a high-end beachfront house will attract another.
