Interested in real estate investing and I don’t really know anything about it aside for everything that I’ve heard from the rookie podcast so would like some good books recommendations for someone who’s trying to learn the real estate system,finance,language or any good books really that would help now or the future.

@Stephon Paul Rich Dad Poor Dad by Robert Kiyosaki is great place to start. I refer his guidance often. But regardless of any REI book you read do yourself a favor and rather than spend thousands on their REI training programs find a REI club near you. Their classes and networking is much cheaper way to get your REI education. I remember early in my REI journey meeting a couple that was going thru Robert Kiyosaki's training. I had asked them how much they had spent. They said over $75K! I was amazed and asked them how many REI transactions they had done. They answered none. So my recommendation is that you don't over analyze as you start your REI journey. Jump in and start investing. The greatest teacher is experience. Also, there is a ton of content on BP too. Follow the forums too. Can't go wrong with experiences from other investors in the trenches so to speak. Learn from our mistakes. They are less costly than one you learn on your own.
