@Brock Mogensen
I will check out some Podcasts. Thank you the advice. I will also be more specific when I start to plan and search for my first deal.

@Nicholas Edwards welcome to BP. The best books to read is a popular topic here. Do a search and you will probably find some threads on it. At the end of the podcast they ask guest what are their favorite books.
One of my favorites is "The One Thing" by Gary Keller and Jay Papasan. It is not about real estate. But it is my current chose for best business book and the best book on time management that I have ever found. Whenever I get to any class seminar or bootcamp on success a popular question is how do I manage my time better.
@Ned Carey
Great point. Time management is very important. I will add this book to the list. Thank you

@Nicholas Edwards Welcome! All three are great books - very nuts and bolts. I'll add Landlording on Autopilot by Mike Butler. He used to be a cop and has a wealth of stret smarts.
For some info on the local RE market go to my BP profile page and check out the videos!
@Marcus Auerbach I will check out your videos about the local RE market. Learning how this market functions will be very helpful. Thank you for the book recommendation.

Hello my name is Nicholas Edwards, and I am a newbie to real estate investing. I currently work as a Chemist creating coatings for industrial equipment. I am new to real estate so I am starting with learning the acronyms that are used in real estate. I am currently reading BRRR and I will follow that up with " Estimating Rehab Costs" and "Rental Property Investing". If someone has another book that I should look into please let me know.
My real estate goal is to primarily rehab and rent properties and I plan to reach this goal in 8 to 12 years. This path will starts when I purchase my first rental property and it will be a great hands on learning experience working with a PM, contractors, and tenants.
I was introduced to BiggerPockets by another member. I was told that BiggerPockets has a wealthy knowledge and that it can help grow my network. I hope to meet and work with as many people as possible in the BiggerPockets community.
