Hi Mary and welcome.You're in one of my favorite parts of CA.

What are some good books to read to learn about all the different ways to invest.

I'VE READ SEVERAL BOOKS SO FAR AND GOT VENA JONES COX WHOLESALING COURSE.

:-)BAC - Bank of America - Very good dividends, promising bank nationwide, not much of Subprime lending/securities compared to other banks, good PE, stock price is about 1.5 times the book valueWM - Washington Mutual - Well, when everyone wants out of Financials thats the right time to get in.

There are also books, and if you want to spend the money, guru courses and bootcamps that teach this stuff.

Even Robinson talks about that in his book.

I think that we can all help one another by sharing those things that we like and dislike about our local real estate clubs.If you're a member of a local REI club, please share with us the following info:1 - General Schedule for Meetings2 - Your favorite features of those meetings3 - Your least favorite feature of those meetings4 - Things you wish your club didFeel free to let us all know the name of the club that you're referring to.Thanks!

It seems low maintenance- just book the times- take the calls and have someone collect- I would probably have to pay someone to pick up checks and take calls- i.e. answering services.

The master has also written two web books titled "The Backside Of American History", which cover things that were actually big news stories, but you probably never learned about in school.salon; heavily, but not entirely politics.

I would suggest spending that year learning as much as you can, read books, lots and lots of books, read these forums, ask questions, etc...
