Recommended Books for new investors?

Need to know the numbers as everyone keeps saying.....anyone have any suggestions on sources/specific books that could help?

I joined a real estate investment group, went to real estate networking meetings, read real estate books, took a weekend workshop on wholesaling, wholesaled some properties, once I had enough down money I borrowed money from a private lender (my real estate lawyer) and flipped a property, then another, then I had enough to buy a single family rental, partnered with my brother, bought another...now I have 82 rental units (single family, multifamily, office and commercial).

I am waiting for a hot shot like yourself to argue “where the line is drawn” with the IRS before passing final judgement.

The 50% is more for quick analysis or so it is being said by some of the Youtube/buy my book crowd.

If you read Brandons book on Invest in in Rental Properties you'll see he has a ten year strategy where you slowly build up your doors each year over ten years with the equity and cash flow from those properties.

The only stipulation is that the “second home” needs to be a minimum of 60 miles from my primary residence, which is not a problem bc I live in CA and can’t afford an investment property here anyway.Inspired by David Green's investing philosophy and having read his book, I'm interested in purchasing an undervalued SFR or small multi-family property out-of-state, rehabbing it, and renting it out.

@John Hyre @Michael Plaks   go buy the law book I told you to get.

I've been watching some youtube videos, and have a few books in mind.

Hey there everyone, My name is Chris, I'm new to the BP community, joined after searching for my next book, which just happened to be  "The Book on Investing in Real Estate with No, and Low, Money Down."
