Hello Bp,What are you guys favorite brands and places to shop for new appliances and furniture for single family home rentals?

Another one of my favorite books has been The Millionaire Real Estate Investor by Gary Keller.

But my favorite book is The Real Book of Real Estate.

If that means paying a little extra, don't sweat it - here is one of my favorite one liners: "if you think working with a professional is expensive - wait until you've worked with an amateur!"

I loved everything you said and your energy, it's one of my favorite episodes (i've listened to about 75 so far).  

With that said here are a few of my favorite ones:- Win-Win Revolution - Bulletproof Title Due Diligence 

My favorite part is all the people I get to talk to and interact with, so much different from my head-down professional life.After a few months of scouting a dozen cities to potentially invest in, I picked Milwaukee, not because it was the best place to invest but because it was the first place I got a realtor to engage seriously and start sending me decent leads that matched what I described in my intro.I like to send out 1-2 offers per week even if I don't think they will be accepted, as long as the price would make it a great deal.
