I think that you will find that there is no one good resource to learn about money management, and that lots of smart people here on BiggerPockets and around the web will disagree intelligently on the best ways to manage your money.I think that a good list of books to begin reading if you are interested on taking control of your money, learning to invest, and having money work for you, instead of having to work for money, are these:1) Richest Man in Babylon (Great for learning basic finance principles - probably the first book you should read)2) Rich Dad Poor Dad (Great for understanding how wealthy people think about money)3) The Four Hour Work Week (Great for understanding the concept of lifestyle design and that Effort does NOT always correspond to productivity)4) The Millionaire Next Door (Great for understanding about what REAL Rich people do with their lives and money)5) The Wealth Barber (A Great step by step look at a reasonable approach for a typical american looking to manage their wholistic financial position)6) The Compound Effect (A Great Book that Discusses the Gradual, then accelerative, then explosive nature of finance, and many other life objectives)Oh, and since you are learning about money - get these books from the library for FREE! 

Near zero effort self managed using the 3 rules above plus a few minor ones and smart tenant selection.You can't quit your day job on the passive income from rentals you sold no matter how much you made

I really appreciate the time and effort by everyone who has participated in this exercise.

And just lack of communication and effort.

They're requesting information from real estate investors on how this can be best accomplished with the following goals in mind: * reduce the REO portfolios of the Enterprises and FHA in a cost-effective manner; * reduce average loan loss severities to the Enterprises and FHA relative to individual distressed property sales; * address property repair and rehabilitation needs; * respond to economic and real estate conditions in specific geographies; * assist in neighborhood and home price stabilization efforts; and * suggest analytic approaches to determine the appropriate disposition strategy for individual properties, whether sale, rental, or, in certain instances, demolition.

Our contributors are fantastic and we'd never be where we are without their efforts.

I need to know if it is worth the effort to contact the owners to discuss a deal and how I need to structure the deal based on the ARV x % - repair cost = offer price.

I will know for sure in 1-2 weeks of my marketing efforts.

On a personal note, thank you to all those attendees who attended by session and made my effort worth it and thanked me.

Just genuinely offering my help to others.
