Will Gaston lol I enjoy the drive. I’ve learned so much that has directly changed my life from audiobooks because of the drive. Including real estate :) but yeah occasionally if I’m sleepy it can seem longer

Patrick M. Thank you! Sounds like a good one!

@John Underwood I've read it! It is amazing. I've read most of his books and that's really how I started becoming interested in real estate. 

Thank you!

Hello, 

I'm a huge audible fan - as I have a long commute to my office (1 hr 20 mins), so I'm looking for some great real estate investing book suggestions. 

So far, I've read 

1. Investing in real estate with no (and low) money down by Brandon Turner

2. The book on rental property investing by Brandon Turner

3. Build a rental property empire by Mark Ferguson (read twice) 

4. The real book of real estate by Robert Kiyosaki (just started) 

If you have some favorite rental property or any real estate investing book suggestions for newbies -perhaps ones that helped you significantly when you were just starting out - I would really appreciate the recommendations! 

Thanks so much! 

@Chris Youssi I seem to be attracted to SFH for the same reasons. Thanks for sharing!

@Susan Hill WOW you bought that duplex at the right time! lol Thanks for sharing your experience I'm happy for you too! It is encouraging and motivating to hear other people's stories and also affirms that it's very attainable if you do the research on the front end. 

Thanks! 

@James W. Seems like $300 is the average response. I get what you're saying about cash flow varying in relation to total value of home and market. 

That's a good point since it will affect how much you pay in mortgage each month which will naturally affect the positive CF. 

Thanks for the response! 

@Mike Lauer Thank you! I'm brand new so any advice is helpful. Best wishes to you also!

@Account Closed I like looking at the numbers like that - it's very helpful for my brain. There's a lot of terminology I'm learning recently, but numbers make sense. 

It does seem like there are a lot of different things to consider when making a purchase. 

Thanks for sharing your standard - it helps to hear from experienced investors. 

@Dave Rav

Yes so many responses! Thank you for yours. That's exactly what I was curious about the CF after all expenses including setting aside money for anticipated repairs and vacancy. 

$300 seems to be the consensus, although it does depend on personal circumstances. 

Thanks for your reply!
