What are the best real estate books to read

Question

What’s everyone's opinion on the best real estate books?

Rich Kniss · Answer

@Nicholas Sambrick In addition to those mentioned, I'd add The Real Estate Rehab Investibing Bible by Paul Esajian, and Real Estate Wholesaling Bible by Than Merrill (even if you aren't planning to wholesale).

Also, @brandonturner published "The Best Real Estate Books for Your Investing Business " on BP which might be helpful.

I find audio books work best for me on the way to and from work. Also, listen to every BP podcast. Lots of information in those. Just consume as much as you can.

Here are some books I would recommend to set a good foundation. Once you decide on a focus there are plenty of books that delve into more specifics on each strategy.

- Millionaire Real Estate Investor

- JScott's books on flipping houses (can be found here on BP)

- Rich Dad Poor Dad

- Book on Managing Rental Properties (found here on BP)

There are so many, but a couple of my favorites:

52 Homes in 52 Weeks:

https://books.google.com/books/about/The_Insider_s_Guide_to_52_Homes_in_52_We.html?id=lcyB3amGu9YC

So many unique strategies to consider in this book.

Not directly a real estate book, but if you are going to start investing, The Millionaire Next Door. Great advice for how to handle your money so that your job doesn't own you.

Good morning Nicholas,

There are tons out there and the more specific you are, the better the answers you'll get.

A great, comprehensive book would be The Millionaire Real Estate Investor by Gary Keller.

The Uncommon Deal by Adam Leitman Bailey.

Lastly, I'd throw J. Scott's Bigger Pockets books in the mix... The Book On Flipping Houses and The Book On Estimating Rehab Costs

Best of luck to you!

Abel
