When I first got started in real estate investing as a individual, I went to the library and read all kinds of books on real estate and real estate investing.
I have to say, most of them are crap. They all sound like get rich quick schemes and blow smoke up your ass about how simple real estate investing is. No money down. Yeah right. Trustee sales, sure with all cash deals. On and on they went.
I can tell you with confidence that I have read at least 30 books on the subject of real estate and real estate investing. The first book that I actually thought made sense and didn’t sugar coat the process was this book.
This is Gary Keller’s book “The Millionaire Real Estate Investor” You may know Gary as the found of Keller Williams Real Estate.
This book gives you a practical and analytical approach to smart real estate investing. It makes no promises and doesn’t waste page after page of fluff to get you motivated. You’re already motivated if you bought this book. Why do authors spend half of their books remotivating you. There are lots of charts, practical knowledge, and even access to their website that tells you where to download excel spread sheets to help you manage your investments and budgets. There is also a ton of terminology for you to learn. In the back is a section from investors who have had real success. Read their stories.
Remember, smart real estate investing will keep you growing your wealth. And that’s the goal. Right?
