The Millionaire Real Estate Investor by Gary Keller is a solid mindset builder.

Here are a few suggestions to get you started:Books: Some classic reads include "Rich Dad Poor Dad" by Robert Kiyosaki, which offers insights on building wealth through real estate, and "The Millionaire Real Estate Investor" by Gary Keller, which provides a comprehensive guide on investing strategies.Podcasts and YouTube Channels: There are numerous podcasts and channels dedicated to real estate investing.

Love that you and your wife are focused on building a solid foundation — that mindset will serve you well.Books/resources: The Book on Rental Property Investing by Brandon Turner (a BP staple), and The Millionaire Real Estate Investor by Gary Keller are both great next steps.Buying rentals vs personal property: biggest differences are how lenders underwrite (they’ll look at rental income potential, reserves, and DSCR ratios), and how you should underwrite — run the numbers first (rent minus expenses) instead of buying on emotion.Getting started: a HELOC can work, but make sure you’ve got good cash flow margin so you’re not over-leveraged.

., I recommend starting with a few books: The Millionaire Real Estate Investor by Keller, The ABCs of Real Estate Investing by McElroy, Landlording On Autopilot by Butler.
