The BP podcast also asks each guest their favorite business book and real estate book each week.Another great podcast is Real Estate Guys Radio.

I don't have a whole lot of equity in the building, but it's cash flowing great now (rents were $650 when I bought it and now are $1750), so it's still one of my favorites!  

Some are honest, most are limited truths and leaving out things they don't feel you want to know about.My ABSOLUTE favorite was a house that had no wires in the attic, yet the PCR said electric was fine.

If you'd like to take a read of some of the aforementioned research, try these: A list of articles I can't post due to journal subscription stuff, but are cited in a short explanation of values by Habitat for Humanity: http://www.habitat.org/how/propertyvalues.aspxA working paper by NYU students that provides all the dense dry stuff I love, but bores most people to tears: http://furmancenter.org/files/publications/Does_Fe...And finally, what should be considered a holy grail source for us here on BP, the National Association of Realtors agrees with me, and links to some of my favorite research (and opinion pieces for those who like more interesting writing): http://www.realtor.org/field-guides/field-guide-to...

We have never bought a "awesome" house but great investment (ask me where my pool is located or the house in my favorite neighborhood or 3 car garage, or  or or ).
