    When you say all of the basics of real estate, are you specifically referring to investing, being a licensed agent, or something else? If you're talking about investing, there are many options to choose from and almost all of them have something to take out of them. I don't think one book serves as a complete primer for everything you'll need to know to start. Read as much as you can until it becomes repetitive, be the expert in your field through study and application. Books that I loved:

    Building Wealth One House at a Time by John Schaub

    Finding and Finding Great Deals by Anson Young

    Buy, Rehab, Rent, Refinance, Repeat: The BRRRR Rental Property Investment Strategy Made Simple by David Greene

    If you're looking for books on becoming a licensed agent, lookup an "essentials" or "guide" book to becoming a real estate agent in your particular state along with the state requirements listed online for testing purposes. Many of the books may be available at your free public library or otherwise online. Good luck with the study!

    Just buy pretty much anything by Bigger Pockets Team... all their books are good. Figure out what you want out of real estate (retire early, replace current income, get a new job in this field, etc) and then search the Bigger Pockets library for books and search their podcasts as well for ones that fit your goals and desires


    Finally, consider signing up for their boot camp for newbies buying their first property... in real estate you learn and grow quickly by DOING not by READING, so jump in!

    Read The Millionaire Real Estate Investor by Gary Keller, Dave Jenks, and Jay Papasan. It was one of my first books getting started. Definitely my favorite.
