    Get Schaubs book:

    Building Wealth One House at a Time, Updated and Expanded, Second Edition

    Amazon for about $30

    Great for starting and reviewing if you've done a few houses.

    Napier's book is good, too.

    so is Rich Dad Poor Dad as just a good read.

    Obviously the book that you read will vary depending upon your exit strategy but two books that I've found an great deal of value in are as follows:

    Crushing it in Apartments and Commercial Real Estate (How a Small Investor can make it Big) by Brian Murray

    The Book on Tax Strategies for the Savvy Real Estate Investor by Amanda Han & Matthew Macfarland

    I really like J Scott's books, The Book on Flipping Houses in particular. Most real estate books, including the Bigger Pockets books, contain a ton of fluff. J Scott's books are straight to the point and extremely helpful. I wish he would write more.

    It depends on where you are at with your investing and what you want to focus on for investing. If you haven't read any books yet, I would highly recommend:

    How to Invest in Real Estate: The Ultimate Beginner's Guide to Getting Started - Brandon Turner

    This helps you get a focus on your direction and a solid understanding about investing.
