Good books read on Real Estate Investing

Posted in Real Estate

I have been asked this question so I will try to answer.  To be honest we haven't read that many.  Most of what we know comes from seminars and from personal experience.  But that said there are few I can recommend and some that others have suggested I read so I will put those down too.

1.  Investing in Lease Options and Subject To Deals by Wendy Patton.

She has a good seciton on explaining subject to Deals that made sense to me.  Her ideas sound good, but may not be as easy to implement as she implies.

2.  David Lindahl

He has an expensive course for $600 which might be very good.  I just heard him on a tape and he was worth listening too.  I don't know that I would spend the money on his course and I don't think he has a separate book, but anyway he has much info on apartment buildings.

3. Robert Kiyosaki - Rich Dad, Poor Dad was the book I read.  He has many others.  He is worth reading to understand the value of making assets work for you when you are not working and the idea of leverage. 

4.  These are recommended by someone in our investing group.

1.  Investing in Real Estate (Third Edition)
by Andrew James McLean, Gary W. Eldred  (available on Amazon for $9.90)
 
 

5.  These are recommended by someone else in our group who is a very successful landlord.

May. 18, 2006 - Carlton Sheets

Posted by cyndiegirl72


Dh started out 15 years ago with the Carlton Sheets course that you still see on Sunday mornings. We have done pretty well with it. We read Kiyosaki every time he gets a new one out. Other than that it has been trial and error, experience and word of mouth.
