Hello! My name is Sean and have been a member for a couple months and just go around to adding  a picture so I thought now would be a good time for my first post.

My wife and I live in Hagerstown, MD and we have 3 boys and 1 more to be born in mid-late August.  The boys occupy most of our time so please don't be offended if I do not respond quickly.  

We are in the initial learning phase of real estate so we probably will not do our first deal for a while, unless you count our current home our first deal.  (We own a 1000 sqft, 2 bedroom condo)

Welcome to BP! You're in a great place to expedite your learning phase. I would definitely recommend listening to the BP Podcasts. Otherwise, some book recommendations:

- "E-Myth Revisited" by Michael Gerber

- "Rich Dad, Poor Dad" by Robert Kiyosaki and Sharon Lechter (this provides a more foundational perspective on money)

- "Cashflow Quadrant" by Robert Kiyosaki (further builds on the "Rich Dad, Poor Dad" foundation)

- "Set for Life" by Scott Trench

- "Long-Distance Real Estate Investing" by David Greene (I'm currently about half way through)

- "The Book on Managing Rental Properties' by Brandon Turner and Heather Turner

- "The Miracle Morning" by Hal Elrod
