Recommended Reading List - Post 2009 - Your Favorites

Hi,

My library is growing... but a lot of the material was published prior to or during the bubble. So I find myself skimming or dismissing possible applicable ideas or processes. Like the idea of getting a 10% down, etc. This may be due to inexperience, but it is a different market now (post 2008/9).

I would really like to get reading recommendations from BP members on effective or favorite books that really helped you in your education, post 2009.

My strategy is MFR - buy/hold long term (but open to SFR due to market availability). Cash flow and formulating an effective long range plan for growth.

My CC is ready, Amazon is up and I am ready to order. : )

Thank you for your suggestions.

    Thank you both.

    That Podcast list is great and extensive. The mailman may not like me for a while.

    My favorite is Gary Eldred's 'Investing in Real Estate' - and I've read lots of books. Be sure to get the 7th edition (published 2012). The 6th edition is on audible, which is also good (pub. 2009). I've also read many of the great suggestions on this and other threads here. Thanks for sharing everyone!
