Three books that have really inspired me so far are Rich Dad Poor Dad by Robert Kiyosaki, as well as The Book on Investing in Real Estate with No and Low Money Down and How to Invest in Real Estate —both published by BiggerPockets.Since I’m not currently working a 9-to-5, I’ve been using this time to focus on learning and building a foundation for long-term success.

The last single point source I have was published in I believe 2014 - so it’s hopelessly outdated.  

there's a ton of knowledge here in the group, other's already mentioned the library of books published by BiggerPockets like Avery Carl's "Short term Rental Long Term Wealth" helped me at the beginning. 

I've done extensive research on this and am about to publish on a blog on this very topic. 

RentCafe publishes a rental competitiveness index, that gives you some idea about rental demand.

They publish the national average mortgage rates along with articles about rates and housing. 

I enjoy a good book real estate book as someone took time to publish it.

i would bet on itAirBnB already has published that everyone else starts in December.  

It’s likely that one or more of these factors played a role in your experience here.I wrote a book (published by BP) that is entirely focused on selecting and examining passive syndication investments.
