Either Flipping houses for rookies or The Flip Empire with Alex Pardo. 

I've cut down on my posting and commenting to BP - I've been doing a lot of reflecting and it's not my mission in life to constantly chase money, try to find properties to buy, and do all this extra stuff which is adding to unhappiness in my life (nothing wrong with that for others if they want to scale and build a real estate empire but that's not me).

Even Tom's "empire" is 700+ properties that he says bring in 600K/month. 

Harry Helmsley’s deal to acquire the Empire State Building by separating it into (1) land (2) operating lease (3) building ownerships was less complicated.

Real estate investing isn't a side hustle — it's an empire in progress, and the tax side is where most empires either quietly bleed or start printing wealth.You're looking for someone who gets it, so let me shoot straight with you:✅ Yes to REPS, passive loss unlocking, and cost seg timing✅ Yes to layered LLCs, holding co’s, and management entity flows✅ Yes to 1031s done right, and not just tossed in last-minute✅ And hell yes to strategy over form-fillingWhether you're trying to tee up long-term exits or turbocharge your depreciation in the short run, there are ways to structure this so the IRS becomes more of a footnote than a headline.I’ve worked with active investors (including BRRRR-heavy operators) and helped them go from reactive chaos to proactive tax planning — without getting bogged down in jargon or "CPA speak."

That is great to hear that you're looking to start your real estate empire.
