Not sure how many up your way.One book I would highly recommend reading if you havent already is " Rich Dad, Poor Dad" by Robert Kiyosaki.To be successful in Real Estate and in life you nees to first change your thinking.

Hi @Nathan Garrett , Welcome to BP , you will learn a lot here about all there is about Real State .You mentioned a good book , i suggest you read the Book on flipping houses By J scott . it is an awesome book on the subject .and Happy investing ...

I know I personally need to be shown and like the class room setting more than just sitting in front of a computer or reading a book.. I

But Wendy Patton's "Lease Options and Subject To" book is a good start for creative financing.

A fancy way to say, f*cking off from the rat race, if you ask me :)As for the 4hour work week book, I personally found it weaksauce and full of hot air.

I learned this from an awesome Non Real Estate Book I read..   

I have been working at a local commercial real estate brokerage for over a year and have my NYS real estate license.My real estate investing goals involve building as passive an income as I can manage (I'm not completely sold that there is a "Four-hour Work Week" out there, but I do agree with a lot of the ideas Tim Ferris put forth in his book).  I

Otherwise I guess there would just be a book. I

What you learn will probably impact the buying decision.I am not allowed to tell you which book I think you should read because I wrote it.I hope this helps.Good Luck on your investing career.Michael Lantrip

A great book is Rich Dad Poor Dad by Robert Kiyosaki.Another great resource is the BP podcasts, found here: https://www.biggerpockets.com/podcastI listen to them in the car, at home, whenever I have time. they are extremely motivating and contain a wealth of practical knowledge.Happy investing!
