Hello BiggerPockets community,

My name is Josh Tonnesen and I have a real interest for real estate.  I have read several books, listened to numerous podcasts, as well as had good, hands-on experience.  

I am looking to expand my network and contribute to the Biggerpockets community wherever the opportunity arises.

Thanks for sharing.

Rich Dad Poor Dad is an all time favorite for me, but others I highly recommend are:

1) The Richest Man in Babylon by George Samuel Clason - it's a series of parables that help teach the investor mindset. Small but great read.

2) The One Thing by Gary Keller - I'm a fan of simple and this books helps sort that out and get you focused on what matters. 

3) And if you're an avid reader/learner, BP put together a great list awhile back - The 21 Best Real Estate books.

    Hi @Josh Tonnesen, You've come to the right place to achieve those goals. Keep going for it. Question - out of the books that you've read on REI which have you found the most helpful?

    @Brett Snodgrass

    I started with the Millionaire Real Estate Investor, and then read the other two books in that series (Flip and Hold).  Then I have started to go through many of the favorite books on the podcasts.  I've read Rich Dad Poor Dad, 4 Hour Work Week, and I am currently going through the E Myth.  I found the Millionaire real estate investor to be the most helpful, and then flip from that series.  If you have any good recommendations, feel free to let me know, because I am always looking to expand my knowledge.
