My background is finance and accounting so I am not new to investing, but I am new to real estate investing. Could anyone recommend books for investors interested in learning about the residential RE markets (buying RE to hold and rent, and buying RE to rehab and resell)?
If you are really serious about wanting to invest go to amazon.com or a local bookstore and buy like 10-20 different titles and scan them for what it is you want to do. When you immerse yourself in all things real estate it will begin to change the way you think, you will no longer think like someone who thinks about investing, you will think like an investor.
Often times if you read just one book things dont sink in, but if you scan 10 books you can begin to come to your own conclusions and find your own best path to wealth. The great part is on amazon you can get 10 great books for roughly $100 used.
