Looking for recommendations of a simple book or straight forward (short) video that explains the benefits of real estate investing to a teenager.

I have learned a lot by reading from various sources (including BiggerPockets) and from watching / listening to hours and hours of YouTube videos. 

After listening to BP podcasts, reading books, and watching videos for years, I am finally ready to take my first actionable steps. 

Rent to own or lease options was recently brought to my attention after watching a video by Kris Krohn on YouTube.

I would read as many books as you can on deals, watch youtube videos from investors (who arent trying to sell you 40,000 coaching programs), and listen to podcasts.If you want to get into multifamily but have not invested in RE before i would recommend starting off with a duplex to quad and learning the basics of the game and see all the expenses, headaches and challenges that come with running a property on your own.

Can anyone direct me to a blog, forum or even a video that can show me how to use public records to find leads?

My background is in Psychology and I am passionate about my Atlanta community. 

I'm actually the founder of InvestorCarrot... but I found a few threads here on BP where some of our current Carrot members chat about their experience w/ us... and feel free to connect w/ them directly if you had other questions.But here's a thread: http://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/80/topics/121972-oncarrotcom---has-anyone-used-for-their-siteThat may help you along in your decision :-)And not if you have, but we actually post our actual conversion and test data on our blog on a weekly basis... and I'd be glad to actually shoot a video for you to show you inside of our database and show you actual tests we're running on actual members websites so you can see realtime conversion numbers.Not sure of any company in this market willing to do that :-)But we're an open book.

@Joe Villeneuve thanks for taking a look at my video.

I follow him and have watched most of his videos and listened to their podcasts.
