I am just now going on 21 and am still in college so I want to take my senior year to really learn some ins and outs as well as I can with out actually doing the work.  I am going to graduate school and would like to be very successful in the business by the time im done in grad. Thanks for the help in advance guys!

If you are interested in a Buy and Hold approach, "The Millionaire Real Estate Investor" by Gary Keller is a good book.  It has a cheezy title, but it focuses on a long-term strategy of picking a local market, becoming a master of it, a purchasing properties that are underpriced and doing it for many years.
