Charlie James With the resources available on the internet these days, investing from a distance is easier than ever.

I read this "on the internet").

I spent about a year reading every book I could get my hand on and spending countless hours researching on the internet.

I've read tons of books on real estate investing and also spent countless hours on the internet doing various research!

If you start buying every book off Amazon that you hear about, then you'll have a lot of books you don't read.Whenever someone I respect recommends a book - I see if I can get it as a free download off the internet first, then I check my library to get a copy. 90% of the time this works - if not, then get a used copy off Amazon or somewhere else.You can always buy the book after you have read the library copy if you want to have it in your portfolio.I will go ahead and throw in one of my recommended readings - Gary Keller (the guy that started Keller Williams Realty) wrote "The Millionaire Real Estate Investor" (McGraw-Hill, 2005).
