    Hi,

    There are many good books on the market.

    As an active real estate investor, I suggest one that shows a series of advanced strategies and practical step by step techniques on how to succeed with real estate investing based on easy to follow instructions and weekly tasks. If you'll follow – you will succeed.

    To Your Success,

    Joshua was talking about this post:

    Old but ok.

    If you're not too financially read-up most ppl can also benefit from some non-real estate and mindset aligning books. Rich Dad Poor Dad or the richest man in babylon is a good start.

    One book is a good start.
    But which one though depends on where you’re up to in your journey.
    In suggesting books to a stranger, best to start with good foundations.
    I believe attitude comes first, so I like Rich Dad Poor Dad and Dolf De Roos book Real Estate Riches
    because they’re basic, and they handle basic real estate investing strategies and attitude adjustment simultaneously.
    Good luck on your journey.
    cheers

    Yep that's the one I was thinking about! It's a good read for someone starting out – explains the fundamentals really well.

    Cheers
