are there any real estate books you would recommend that are particularly educational. I've read a couple decent ones already but want to soak in as much info as possible before diving in.
Keep your day job, rightnow is not a good time to get into real estate. However, If you want info regarding that subject, visit your local library.
Here are ones recommended on the National Association of Realtors Library Cash in on the coming real estate crash Quick Cash in Foreclosures The complete book of real estate contracts Buy, Rent, Sell 40 days to sucess in real estate investing
Can you be more specific? What area of real estate are you looking to learn about? Investing? Are you a new real estate agent? Lending? **Edit** You probably want to attend some REIA groups in your area (real estate investors association). Message me and I can help you research how to find them. If you're looking long term, and you don't own your own home yet, you might want to consider buying a multi-unit, living in it and renting out the other side. Most First Time Home Buyer programs will let you purchase a 2 unit property. Right now IS a good time to BUY, NOT a good time to sell. People are giving away houses right now! Your local REIA groups will usually have a library you can rent out from. Research Lou Brown, he's a national speaker. I've been to 3 of his seminars, and he doesn't try to b.s. you telling you it's easy. It's not easy. You'll never learn all the angles, that's why you should join the groups. Learn from experienced investors, mistakes they made, success stories. Whatever you do, don't take ideas from informercials. I hope this helps, message me if you want any more info.
