Hello everyone,

I am new to this site and new to Real Estate.  After being a secretary in the school system I have decided I want to get into Real Estate.  Can someone tell me what book and author is best to read for a beginner in investing in Real Estate.  Thank you in advance.

Hey @Melissa Reid , welcome to the site! You have definitely found the best place to go to find info on real estate. 

Here's a great link to some of the most recommended books,

I would personally start with Rich Dad Poor dad to get you in the right mind set and then a personal favorite of mine is, Landlording on Autopilot by Mike Butler.
