Hey everyone! I’m Alex, I’m looking forward to learning more about real-estate, rentals, and all the things in between. Does anyone have any good recommendations on books or accounts I can follow or read to learn more?

I've read the discussions from 5 years ago. I'm wondering if anyone on BP has recent experience (last couple years) with a Spartan Invest turn-key property purchase.

In town for my girlfriend’s work conference. Just looking to chop it up with anyone in the industry. Coffee/lunch whatever works.
Where should I start as a new investor?
