I have purchased and read 3 of Brandon Turners books (No Money Down, Rental Property Investing, and Managing Rental Properties).

I’ve been sitting back reading this site for a while and see that several of us (especially on the West Coast) are in the same boat.We’re inspired to pursue Rich Dad’s dream and started by reading books, researching online and reading / listening to Bigger PocketsWe probably have some money, but not the kind that goes very far in Southern CaliforniaWe curious about investing out-of-state but may not know which market to choose or who to trustWe feel a bit overwhelmed about the different options and can’t pinpoint where to startA lot of that sounds like me too!  

I'm also HUGE fan of the some of books that have come to light through BP as well - Miracle Morning, Rich Dad Poor Dad's, & Think and Grow Rich & all the other books we've heard through the podcast that I'm still in the works on.I've come to BP after being in the stock market through various means over the past 6 years.

Re: The Book on Rental Property Investing (Chapter 3 on Sample plans - Plan 1).

Good day,I have 2 properties I wanted to list for short term rental on airbnb and other bookings websites.

Apparently he's booked most weekends with people and their ghost cameras and ghost-o-graphs.

And you weren't looking at the books?

We ran no numbers, and at the time I had read zero books on real estate investing.

Please click on the links, give them a read, and share your thoughts in the comments.First is a post that I feel will help not get overwhelmed with the amount of info that is here on BP:https://www.biggerpockets.com/blogs/5868/52761-the-simple-guide-to-getting-started-on-bpThe second is a post that will help get you focused with your real estate investing goals:https://www.biggerpockets.com/blogs/5868/52743-im-new-to-bp-any-advice-would-be-appriciatedThe last one is a post that will help you choose an “investor friendly” real estate agent.

So I'm new to REI as well but a book I heard about that is supposed to be amazing for wholesaling is: "If you can't wholesale after this: I've got nothing for you" by Todd Flemming.
