I found the below books super helpful so I strongly recommend them:- The Millionaire Next Door- The book on Rental Property Investing- The Book on Investing in Real Estate with No Money Down- Long-Distance Real Estate Investing- The Millionaire Real Estate Investor- What Every Real Estate Investor Needs to Know About Cashflow- How I Turned $1,000 into a Million in Real Estate in My Spare Time- Rich Dad Poor Dad- The Book on Estimating Rehab CostsIn terms of your budget - is this something you already have in cash?

I've read Rich Dad Poor Dad and a mentor/investor suggested Nothing Down for the 2000's.I'm in a really weird scenario.

After a friend’s enthusiastic recommendation, I decided to read Rich Dad Poor Dad which made me really excited about real estate as an investment.

I read rich dad poor dad and I am currently reading ultimate beginners guide to real estate investing.

Paraphrasing everyone's favorite book (Rich Dad).

Quote from @Rich Hupper: Hi I would like to bump this thread and see if there is a way to monetize the credits so you can reduce costs to get a smaller perm loan so you cash flow better.
