So any helpful bits of information or book recommendations would be much appreciated.

I started reading about real estate about a month ago and have gone through 5 books and am really excited about it.I am currently an accounting major at a pretty big school.

Buying today and buying in 1995 are two completely different animials in my book.

I get my information from here or free to low cost videos and books.

A good book to start you out is Building Wealth One House at a Time by John Schaub.

There is a book called How to make money on Real estate options by Thomas Lucier.

The thesis of that book covers good v. bad debt.To keep it simple, Michael is dead on.

I'm a person on specifics, so if you can't give me specifics on strategies I'll really appreciate that.I have read different materials, books, been to a few seminars.

I just get frustrated when people spit out the common fear factor phrases.Here is my favorite saying rgarding fear:"The rich act in spite of fear, while others allow fear to stop them".This is not just a statement of words, but something to live by.

Vancouver is one of my favorite places!
