Hey Dan, Welcome to Bigger Pockets!

I've found Audible Audiobooks are a great resource to learn from. I use Audible daily. I can listen to books and educate myself on whatever I want while at the gym, in the car, etc.

Audible has been game changing for me as I can't read fast but can absorb audio information quickly and thoroughly.

I have read/listened a few higher level books and am starting to focus on learning more about specific topics.

Below is what I have read so far. I'm looking to find books that have been written more recently and take into account at least the post-pandemic economy, if not also the new variable of rising interest rates AND rising house prices. Most older books these two factors are an OR not an AND.

PS, I acknowledge that people have differing opinions about some of the books on this list. I have not committed to any one strategy at this time.

Hi All. New member here. Considering REI but trying to educate myself first. Biggest concern is how to gain cash flow in the current economy with high house prices, increasing interest rates and flat rental rates. I can't figure out how it is possible to get income out of a rental property if it seems like the PITI alone is going to be more than the possible rental rates. Looking for modern educational resources that are up to date on how to make REI work in this economy. Most traditional resources, like books, are starting to seem obsolete considering they seem to use a model of low house prices, low interest rates and being able to keep raising rental rates.
