Hi DJ,

There are hundreds of books written on all aspects of real estate and real estate investment.  Building your business requires business planning and "how to" information in the area of your interest. 

An often overlooked area is self development. Your mindset is more than 90% of what it takes to be successful in business and every other area of your life. I recommend reading "Think and Grow Rich" by Napoleon Hill, and  "The Science of Getting Rich" by Wallace Wattles in addition to real estate books mentioned by the other writers on this post. 

Investing in yourself is as important as investing in your business.  If you are employed, the company you work for invests in you and it only makes sense that you invest in yourself.
