The only reason this is coming up as questionable decision at all is the fact that I have to continue living there for now and need to ask myself if the added income is worth the possible added aggrevation from the neighborhood.

By planting these fixed seeds that are and continue to pay dividend, it stabilized my income flows and concurrently allowed me to build up reserves for additional purchases. 

And will definitely keep that in mind to make sure I continue to look for and find the best people out there - not just settle for the first!

You have to be maniacal in making sure you never face a cash crunch because no lender, property manager, contractor etc is going to wait months on end (and continue doing the work), while an investor sorts out their problems. 

I've listened to about 15 bigger pockets podcasts, read the ultimate beginners guide, read "Rich Dad, Poor Dad" and "Money Master the Game" by Tony Robbins as a start to my REI/financial education.

Being bedridden has given me much of that time educating myself, 7 days per week.The things you have been taught in grade school and told by your family is not true anymore. 

For now reading and continuing to go through the growing pains is what will be needed. 

The second is that education is free for the taking. 

I suspect that other factors come into play when making a decision about this investment and I have plans to take them into account as I continue my analysis.Okay, on to the main topic of discussion.

Please advise the books about real estate investment and management.
Thank you.
