Best Real Estate Investing Book?

[Ryan Charboneau]

Hey Everyone,

I'm new to the forum and new to REI. I love the site and have found so much useful information. I am hoping to get some recommendations for your favorite book on investing. I purchased my first home in February of this year and am looking buy and hold properties in the future but I am interested in any good real estate reading.

Thanks

I have many favorites. "The Complete Guide to Buying and Selling Apartment Buildings" by Steve Berges is a great book. "The Book on Flipping Houses" by J. Scott is another one. For a beginner here on BP, I'd recommend reading both "The Ultimate Beginner's Guide to Real Estate Investing" and "Investing in Real Estate with no (and low) Money Down" by Brandon Turner.
