Rich Dad’s Advisors®: The ABC’s of Real Estate Investing: The Secrets of Finding Hidden Profits Most Investors Miss (Rich Dad’s Advisors) by Ken McElroy.

After reading Rich Dad/Poor Dad, I found most of the other Kiyosaki books repetitive – but this one was very good. It’s mostly about commercial properties; but provides some good advice, tools and formulas to help evaluate properties, cash flow potential, etc.

Also, I just checked out “How to invest in real estate with your IRA and 401k and pay little or no taxes” from the library. Author is Hubert Bromma. It’s about self-directed IRAs and seems to be a good source of info on what I consider to be a convoluted, but beneficial topic. I haven’t made it all the way thru yet – but it’s on my list of books to buy so that I have a copy on my desk when I’m ready to go “self-directed”.
