Then when the time comes I have money for down payments and mortgage payments.From what I have been seeing is instead of banking up that 200-300k taking about 5 years to get there, I can just soak up a bunch of knowledge and experience for a year or two and get money from the bank and rent out houses and flip them, which would save me from working my but off in sales just for that 60-100k job.I currently have 0 debt and about 2 years of credit history, 750 credit score, and 5k saved up at the moment, I had to pay for 2 years of college that sort of took most of the money I have been making.I have been reading articles online and such but my question is, what kind of books/podcasts should I be reading or listending to in order to broaden my horizon on REI and renting out RE?

I read enough history books to know it only takes one spark when there's kindling everywhere.That said, back in 2008 I actually got my pilot's license and a farm in the middle of nowhere in case things get really bad...Hope for the best and plan for the worst right?

Hi Michael,Welcome to the forums.You might want to put the deal numbers on the forums to get feedback and a guide so that you are not overpaying.If you are looking for a great flipping book J Scott on here has a good one.

I have always had a passion for RE Investing and have been reading RE Investing and Entrepreneur books for years.

I was on the road a lot with many 5am starts.One morning the wife (who maintains our RE books), simply commented "you don't need to do it anymore".

I recently read about this in my Flipping Houses for Dummies book.  

I want to know some good books to read for beginners that you guys would recommend and has helped you and also anything else you think I may know.

I've been reading books, listening to podcasts (Josh Dorkin does kinda look like Adam Levine's cousin), and watching youtube videos and HGTV to educate myself.I'm planning on being debt free by November, and that's when i'll start putting all that learning to good use, and after being a bit covert on BP, I'm convinced you all can help me get started and be better educated.Any advice on my continuing education would be greatly appreciated.Thanks!
