Has anyone read any books that they thought to be particularly helpful? I’m pretty familiar with a lot of the bigger hitters, but would love to discover some books with less notoriety.

You said you had read the heavy hitters, so I'll take that as rich dad and Millionaire Real Estate Investor. The most helpful book I've read so far has been Never Split the difference by Chris Voss, not real estate specific, but I applied it to REI as well as my job, and it was huge on my last offer.

@John Neff I just read The Unteathered Soul. Not real estate related but a great book about dealing with adversity in all aspects of life past and present and how to life a happier and more fulfilled life.

Having experience a few RE market cycles myself for the past 16yrs... I know there's never a one size fits all investing strategy.
I highly recommend a book I just read recently to newbies and experienced investors alike, "Recession Proof Real Estate Investing" by J. Scott. Its an excellent book and is totally on point with what works in which part of the market cycle.

I would like to add, if you aren't listening to The Bigger Pockets Podcast, you are missing out. Even the older podcasts have TONS of good content to learn from. Hearing directly from other investors that started from scratch and are in the early, mid and late stages of their investment careers is priceless!

@Logan Chen Think & Grow Rich has been sitting on my shelf for ages, but I haven’t taken the time to read it. I’ll be sure to give it a read. Thanks for the recommendations!

@Joshua Schmidt Thank you for all of the suggestions! I’ve been listening to the podcast for over a year, but never became active on BiggerPockets until very recently. So much valuable content.
