Hello BP community, what are your favorite real estate and business books?

We actually call our walk-throughs "final walk-throughs".

Please advise the books about real estate investment and management.Thank you.

I'd nail an eviction notice to your friend's front door so fast her head would spin, and do everything in my power to make absolutely sure that an eviction ended up recorded permanently in Prince George's County books, so that any search in the future would expose it.And then your friend would never be able to sign a lease in the USA to live in any apartment where national record checks are run on possible tenants.

Finally, you should look at neighborhoods and streets.  

I chose the best one I could afford, then made sure it "clicked" with me, and then finally it was easy to get to. 

Now, I know the object is to keep expenses low and profit high, but could a few simple additions increase your bookings?

We can read books and listen to podcasts for ever but I believe practicing is what helps a new investor get started and a seasoned investor get better.
