I’ve been listening to audio books to get some ideas and every single one recommends getting on bigger pockets.

You're better off reading the BiggerPockets forms getting a couple of books worth 100 bucks total and going from there.

You need to not necessarily follow a book to a T, but just basic principles.

Then you can read a more in-depth book like The Book On Rental Property Investing by Brandon Turner or The Unofficial Guide to Real Estate Investing by Spencer Strauss.2.

We currently use Rent Manager for our property management software for our mobile home parks and other rentals, etc, but use QBO as our main accounting books.  

(I remember when my dad bought some books from Amazon.com in 1996 or 1997; he wasn’t a pioneer, but he was a fairly early adopter, and immediately recognized the consumer value that Amazon brought.) 

Let’s say you’re starting from zero in 2025—no properties, no deals, just the knowledge and lessons you’ve picked from BiggerPockets, books you have read and videos you have watched.What would you do differently this time around?
