    @Gregorio Maximus Tancredi

    There are so many.... The Rich Dad Poor Dad got me started...

    Rich Dad Poor Dad

    Why the Rich Keep Getting Richer

    These spin off to several other books written by contributors to the RDPD books; Tom Wheelwright, Ken  McElroy, etc...

    Once you start reading, it's hard to stop!  

    Cheers!

    First let me congratulate you looking to your future at your age. Well done! As for books the lists above are great. I would add one more. "Buy Rehab Refi Rent Repeat" by David Greene. It's called the BRRRR method. Also, in addition to reading, which is a great way to learn, Bigger Pockets offer great webinars. They are free. Take advantage of them. If you have a Real Estate Investor Association, REIA, in your area check it out. Call them to ask if you can attend a meeting or 2 for free before buying in. If you go just watch to see who everyone is trying to talk to. Then introduce yourself and tell him your story. Have a short 1 minute speech ready. This is called an elevator speech. It introduces you and your goals quickly. You may run into someone who would be willing to be a mentor. But watch out for guys who want to charge you Nick bucks. When you are ready offer to work for them in exchange for their help.

    Goos luck. Let us know how you are doing.

    How to Invest in Real Estate by Brandon Turner and Josh Dorkin would be the best place to start: https://store.biggerpockets.co...

    Next after that I would recommend The Millionaire Real Estate Investor by Gary Keller. It's a classic.
