The rule is at 10 years old you have to read Rich Dad Poor Dad and then again when going to be a freshman in our house.

Slow leaks from flappers are tough unless you do the old food color test & tenants are usually oblivious to it.

It will be presented as ending a tax break for the rich, making the rich pay their "fair share" etc.  

Up until now I haven't read many books about real estate unless they have had specific examples of it, but I have read books like "Rich Dad Poor Dad" "Cashflow Quadrant" "Think and grow Rich" "The Millionaire Next Door" etc..

1) Rich Dad Poor Dad (almost every investor started with this one)2) The Book on Managing Rental Properties by Brandon Turner (This book was pivotal after my initial purchase, it has made and saved me more money than any other book)3) Set For Life by Scott Trench (provides you with a detailed description of how to create your "financial runway", I have tried to model my investing career off of this book.)4) BRRRR by David Greene (provides detailed description of how to use the 2nd best strategy in Real Estate (house hacking is #1))5) Long Distance Real Estate Investing by David Greene (Provides detail description of how to invest in Real Estate if you live in an expensive Market6) The 10x Rule by Grant Cardone (mindset/motivational)7) The Book on Estimating Rehab Costs by Jay Scott (provides detailed description on handling what I find the most difficult aspect of REI)That is my rank order for the most influential books that I have read.  

Just some food for thought.

They would take a greater percentage of profits but you would get experience and a part of the deal and something is better than nothing.Real estate is a long play and not a get rich in a few years but build wealth over decades.

In my opinion most investors (not the Clayton Morris/ Bert Whalen's of the world) that struck it rich in REI earned it.
