The best book I've found on it is...Secrets of the Millionaire Mind: Mastering the Inner Game of Wealth By T.

But as you car guys say I am "back of book" when it comes to what I would like to know about REI.

Most landlords are self trained from books and experience.

I did read your book by the way.

I've tried in the past, and found that I'm generally too soft on tennants to be a good landlord, but I'd like to re-evaluate that situation and build a book of income property, so I'm hoping to glean some advice and possibly some practical solutions to address my landlord shortcommings before I jump back in to that segment of REI.I hope that gives a little more detail on me, and again I appreciate the warm welcome thus far.

So I can't see any homes during the week in my area.I've done enough book reading to know that it would be unwise to quit my job and do real estate full-time now.

I have read a few books and done time on the internet researching to how to's.

I picked up a couple of books and already finished one - ABCs of Real Estate Investing is a good newbie book if any other newbies care - easy read, and provided some basic guides to determine property profitability, though you can probably find the same info on this forum in one form or another.

Interesting book.

One can go to the book store to find out more.
