I can listen to books and educate myself on whatever I want while at the gym, in the car, etc.If you'd like some recommendations, let me know what area of real estate you're interested in.

I can listen to books and educate myself on whatever I want while at the gym, in the car, etc.A couple I'd recommend to you based on your post are..FLIP - How to Find, Fix, and Sell Houses for ProfitThe Book on Flipping Houses How to Buy, Rehab, and Resell Residential PropertiesThis book is not currently available on Audible but a must readThe Book on Estimating Rehab Costs - J ScottBigger Pockets has become one of my best resources.

I prefer audio books as I can listen to them at the gym, while I'm commuting, etc.

I’m a Nashville renter hoping to start my real estate investing journey sooner than later.

Down the road (or sooner), I'd like to get into the larger commercial residential space.

If you will be scaling quickly, then you may want to consider upgrading to these packages sooner.
