"The Book on Investing in Real Estate with No and Low Money Down" is probably the best place to start.

I believe in the Millionaire Real Estate Investor the book said of all the millionaire real estate investors that were interviewed the overwhelming majority preferred to keep at least 20% - 30% of equity in each deal to protect against downturns as opposed of being leveraged to the hilt.

Does anyone have any books they can recommend on the subject?

Some suggestions: (not sure if this all applies to the RE market in India, but I assume there are similarities)Read Brandon Turner's book on Rental Property Investing https://www.amazon.com/Book-Rental-Property-Investing-Passive-ebook/dp/B018UTI2DOListening to the BP Real Estate podcast https://www.biggerpockets.com/podcastListening to the BP money podcast https://www.biggerpockets.com/moneyshowStart analyzing deals to get practiceEngage more here on the BP forumsPost a profile pic!

I've read Rich Dad Poor Dad and I'm working on Brandon Turner's book (The Book on Investing In Real Estate with No (and Low) Money Down).   

I been reading books but have not got hands on experience yet.

They’ll give you every excuse in the book to try to buy themselves more time.

The info in the book might seem like common knowledge but it changed my perspective on my income.

Great book REAL ESTATE EXCHANGE ACQUISITION TECHNIQUES, by William T.

I read books and I spend time on BiggerPockets constantly.
