I have read a handfull of books over the last few months, but now feel it is time to start networking and analyzing properties.

I ordered the raising private capitol book bigger pockets just released but wanted to ask the BP community 

There seems to be a great deal of timidity with the mindset of new landlords and ideally a property manager does things without emotion and by the book

"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!
