All, I consider myself a beginner in real estate investing, but savvy in business/finance.

There are multiple Real Estate investor networking events that happen here in the Orlando area every month.

I would like to know from other experienced investors some suggested books that highlights mindset, preparation for recession, finance and all things real estate.

Start by reading the Ultimate Real Estate Investing Guide: https://www.biggerpockets.com/guides/ultimate-real-estate-investing-guide/introduction2.

I am based in the Atlanta metro area and am a new real estate agent and investor.

People did not have BiggerPockets, YouTube, podcasts, or hundreds of books on real estate investing.

High efficiency appliances were utilized including HVAC, light fixtures and water heater.The use of the accelerated depreciation strategy helps real estate investors to reduce the tax liability immediately which therefore increases their bottom line due to the offsetting of income.

Would love to hear from other pros.For California specifically, it’s safest and most cost effective to allow a passive trust to own all real property in California.

My title company has told me that it is impossible to do a simultaneous closing using only the end-buyers’ money to fund the transaction on a wholesale deal as they say it is considered a “dry closing” and is illegal in the state of Virginia.Someone from the title company also told me that there is a limit on the number of assignment deals that you can do before you are forced to get a real estate license or it is considered brokering without a license.

This isn’t the end goal for me but just the beginning as I get my feet wet in the real estate world.
