While your investment decisions may change for the better after looking at a property there is a certain amount of wild guesses you can figure out by knowing the neighborhood and seeing a street view picture.Never buy properties solely to purchase, rent and pay down the mortgage because you will never get rich collecting rents.

Rich Dad Poor Dad was inspiring, I joined a Cash Flow group in the area and met up with them several times to play, but never translated that into real action.

There's quite a few I love, but Rich Dad, Poor Dad and the Richest Man in Babylon are pretty good places to start imo. 

I've also read the millionaire real estate investor, rich dad poor dad, and the BRRRR book.

I recently read "Rich Dad, poor dad" and am finishing up "How to Invest in Real estate."

Others are simply MLMs that want you to recruit others to the "Get rich quick" seminar for $300 or whatever while providing no actual deals, no real education, no actual mentorship. 

I am new to most of this stuff but I am currently reading Rich Dad Poor Dad and in one of the chapters it says that an important thing to have in knowledge is accounting skills.

Wanted to share this really quick with you: I had the passive income bug years ago, read Rich Dad Poor Dad, got into real estate and started out wholesaling as well.Did it for YEARS before I got the courage to pull the trigger on my first buy and hold.Once I got that first rental - I realized that there had been nothing holding me back (but myself) all along.I also realized that only rentals were going to give me the passive income/freedom I was after.That's my biggest regret - not jumping into rentals first and getting sidetracked with wholesaling.
