BP colleagues, 

Any good books on understanding only Buy and Holding Investing (especially for single family housing)?

@Steven Mitchell

A lot of great recommendations above.

To add to the list, I always like to recommend "Buying Real Estate without Cash or Credit" by Peter Conti and David Finkel. They not only talk about the in's and out's of acquiring property with little to no capital but they even give you the proper verbiage to use with buyers/sellers when doing the deals.

    I highly recommend "HOLD: How to Find, Buy, and Rent Houses for Wealth" by Steve Chader and Jennice Doty.

    I got the BP Books and videos, they are great, especially the buy and hold interviews.  I also googled top real estate books and most are at my library, now on hold by me, but reading Landlording on Autopilot; full time cop running hundreds of units... Must read.  I have a triplex, and offer in on 15 units in Phoenix; mid-low level experience.  What are you looking to get into?

    In addition to HOLD, I would recommend "The ABCs of Real Estate Investing","The Advanced Guide to Real Estate Investing" both by Ken McElroy. As well as the "Millionaire Real Estate Investor" by Gary Keller.

    Millionaire Real Estate Investor by Gary Keller is by far the best book I have read when it comes to explaining why real estate is a good idea for the average person. There are not any "hot strategies" or "secret tips" in it, but the book is easy to understand for anyone. It is the book I gave to my dad when I was getting into real estate so he could understand why I thought it was a good idea and the first book I recommend to people who want  a high level view of real estate holding.
