I'd recommend picking up J Scott's book on flipping houses.

Books, podcasts, webcasts, YouTube, articles, etc.

Hi everyone, I’m a new investor and I have 3 books I want to read.

@Shadane K Croach Let me know what your goals are and what books/advice you've leaned into.

I am reading David Greene's book on long-distance real estate investing, and he talks about buying properties in distress and rehabbing them-- "Finding the deal" as many would say.

If I were you and want to maximize your time, I would create a video on Facebook, Youtube, or other sites to get the buyers to visit your one page landing site to collect their email in exchange of a free information book like wholesaling to educate the buyers.

Also, I bought mine furnished and depending on where yours is located and what sort of demographic you want booking it (budget conscious, luxury, local emphasis, etc.) will have a huge impact on how you much you should plan to spend on furnishings and decor. 

I did the self-paced online course which entailed picking up the class books (or you can download & print, but they are quite large), self-study and completing the class exams online. 

Whether it's reading books, taking certain college courses, or obtaining a real estate or broker's license, I'm willing to do whatever it takes. 

The sooner the bank can get the property off its books, the sooner they can quit paying the carrying costs associated with that property.
