J Scott's book on Flipping Houses may be of help to your goal.

I've been reading several real-estate books over the last eight months (8-10) and have been looking at houses on the MLS almost daily.  

Lots of great books on the topic, too.

If you want read a real eye-opening book about being a landlord in Massachusetts, read "Legal Tactics: Tenants Rights in Massachusetts" by Annette R.

I have read a lot of books and still reading and no I am reading to test my knowledge can anyone point me in a good direction.   

Another method is physically going to properties on the market in your area and look at them, look to the basic concept of "DUST" in the real estate, after about 50 homes in a band of price ranges, you'll be able to guess, it might take 100.Too bad newbies don't have a "Blue Book" for real estate, wouldn't that be great......Oh, that's a 2006 model Harrison Built in Oak Hills, zip code 65606, ah, it says here the 3/2/2 is worth, in good condition, $212,500.00 !  

I just wanted to say that I just purchased your new books.
