I have been loooking into real estate investing for some time reading books, and articles even owning a few shares in different REIT’s.

Or does anyone have recommendations on books I could read on managing a park?

Podcasts, blogs, & books provided here on BP are a great way to start. 

I had wanted to purchase a brand new car, but this book completely changed my mind.

But I’ve been trying to get my hands on as many books as possible, as many resources, podcasts, etc., but I was just wondering from my Bigger Pockets family if there is anything SPECIFICALLY that has helped you take large steps towards the direction you want to go with REI and your own personal careers?

Im seeing very little in the way of cash flow properties but wanted to seewhat you all though about my inputs.Im making a few assumptions mainly looking at multifamily up to 4 units with 10% down (I know this is low but I've found banks that'll do that in my market for properties under 500k) then I account for maintenance/debt servicing from past experience (wondering if people have a better way that would take into account property age and condition for maintenance estimates), finally I set vacancy at 1 month a year (not sure if that is reasonable either). 

I was thinking I should rent one of your cabins but it was a same day rental and I'm sure they were booked out far in advance.

Required 2 years of W2s, tax records, insurance records, mortgage records, called my work, sent out appraiser, signed several docs + a notary to my house for final docs.  

I understand IRS likes you to spend time on books, but I believe my receipts are all the proof that is needed when they come for us.  

Waiting on the appraisal which should be completed in a few days, it will be interesting to see if they appraise it at a 3 or 4bdrm.My current plan: Increase final selling price by 2.5k and ask for 5k back in seller concessions.
