Not a get rich quick, no money down, high risk, fantasy. 

I just recently applied to the RECO course to become an agent but I am in need of some of the books mentioned in the podcast,such as The Millionaire Real Estate Agent, and Rich Dad Poor Dad.

In this cycle, on top of the usual hurdles, first-time homebuyers will face stiff competition from cash-rich institutional investors looking for higher ROI (e.g. ibuyers)Take advantage of the U.S. becoming a nation of renters. 

Start reading a financial book per month, "Rich Dad Poor Dad" would be a great first book. 

Your first deal will never make you rich, but the skills you learn doing it just might.Also, your mortgage will be getting paid down, you'll save $300/month (and that's a lot like cashflow, even though it isn't exactly) and you'll get tax advantages. 

I have read the books Everyday Millionaires, Rich Dad Poor Dad and am currently reading BRRRR.

They are the victim and you are the big bad rich landowner.

I don't have any rich friends/family, but that's certainly a very creative way to get what you wanted.

You don't get rich collecting rents.The multi-unit properties are where the big money is and they are recession-proof.

Have you read any real estate related books, Rich Dad Poor Dad, the book on BRRR by Bigger Pockets?
