I have listened to many podcasts and read blogs but looking for some great books fo help solidify all the things I’ve been learning.

There is nothing worse than having to watch and listen to an incompetent inspector for 3 hours conveying nonsense to buyers, who are already insecure, while I can't say anything, because I am "just the agent who gets the comission". 

@Bryce Shipley I've been in your shoes. 

I've also listened a lot to friends who have owned properties. 

If I were in your shoe's the first thing I would do, because I was you in 2019, is sit down and come up with a budget.

I work overnight which gives me plenty of time to cram every BP podcast and listen to some audio books.

I would listen to the numerous amounts of podcasts that discuss this in great detail.

Hey @matt maitz i am new to the real estate game as well, but from my understanding, talking to investors reading books and listening to podcasts, you should shoot for 100 to 200$ a door per month.

I highly recommend you start listening to the Straight Up Chicago Investor Podcast to become familiar with real estate investing in the Chicagoland market.

In the mean time I am reading, listening, and watching as much content as I can so when the time comes I will be better prepared.
