My favorite two when I was starting was the "Millionaire Real Estate Investor" by Gary Keller and "The Book on Rental Property Investing" by Brandon Turner.  

Like i said i want to rin a business not a hobby.

Our favorite fix and flip investors, Ellen DeGeneres and wife Portia DeRossi are looking to flip a nine-acre Montecito compound for a "nice" $39.9 million (just a year after buying the seaside spread for $27 million).

You don't want someone that treats your property like a hobby. 

Our favorite zips are 29601 29605 29607 29609 29611. 

I agree about learning the neighborhoods, I am going to do more research, narrow down my favorite markets and go out and actually see the properties and neighborhoods before I invest.

If it’s a hobby, or you just would love to try it yourself, go for it!

We have the right shower pan and everything, and i am available to provide any information you or your favorite contractor needs.

That is a hobby not a business. 

You know how when you take a teenage girl to a pop concert and their favorite guy comes on stage they have a melt down of jumping up and down screaming?
