Hello Everyone,

I am currently educating myself on REI. I would like to known what books you have read that you have found most help. I am especially interested in practical books. So far I am reading the ABC's of Real Estate Investing. I would love to know your thoughts.

Best,

Thanks Brandon Turner. Your suggestions are excellent as usual.I will explore the mentorship angle.

Marc Bodinger Glad to know I am not alone as I embark on this new adventure. I agree both Multifamily and Hospitality are great areas. What are your areas of interest?

Bryan K. Thanks for the welcome. Excited to be a student of the game.

@Karen M. Thanks for the welcome. I am interested in Boutique real estate. Smaller statement or theme related properties.

While I am in school, just curious any thoughts on how to get the best practical experience - I have heard become a real estate agent, property manager, or just work anywhere in real estate? I would like to use this time as best as possible to gain practical experience and some cash.. thoughts anyone?

Seth Williams Thanks for your response. I never considered that option before. I will explore further.

Ryan Richard Excellent Thought. I am so glad I posted my thoughts here. This gives me an idea of how to set goals going forward

Or just start investing using private money or hard money???

Thanks J for helping me frame my thought process towards goal setting. If I used bank financing, would the investment still be of 400k on my end, or that amount of financed property?

In terms of gaining experience, while I am still in my education phase, short of just starting to invest, would you say experience as an agent or a property manager is more relevant or it does not matter, just focus on garnering funds to get started?
