Ten Books That Will Help You Get Started In Real Estate

A book is the main resource newbie real estate investor and some Veteran real estate investors have access to that guides us with our real estate ventures.

People have been writing books about real estate for years. I’ve been reading books since before I started my real estate journey.

The following books have been great resources to me and I still reference them sometimes. Most of these books, I’ve listened to on Audible. I’ve compiled a list of my favorite books.

  • Rich Dad Poor Dad – Robert Kiyosaki
  • Rise – Cara Brookins
  • How Come This Idiot’s Rich And I’m Not – Robert Shemin
  • Retire Early With Real Estate – Chad Carson
  • Investing In Real Estate with Low Or No Money Down – Brandon Turner
  • Millionaire By Thirty – Douglas Andrew, Emron Andrew and Aaron Andrew
  • Real Estate Investing Secrets – Cliff Turner and Brandon Haby
  • Long Distance Real Estate Investing – David Greene
  • The Automatic Millionaire Homeowner – Gavin Hammon
  • Lifeonaire – Steve Cook

I know there are a lot more books that I haven’t read or listened to yet, but I’m always looking for recommendations.

If you have read any of the books that I listed, I’d love to know your thoughts on them and if they helped you move forward with your real estate ventures.

If you haven’t read any of these books or you have recommendations, leave me a comment and let me know.

Why Am I Sharing My Journey???

The word “WHY” always comes up when someone starts a new journey and adventure. The “WHY” can be one thing or many things. I asked myself why did I get into real estate investing many times. Other people have asked me why I got into real estate. It’s funny, yet interesting to me how one word helps define your reason for continuing to do something and push forward through trials and tribulations.

Everyone has a story to tell. We all have different experiences in life and we all handle situations and challenges differently. I am no different from anyone else and I don’t see myself as being more special or more privileged than anyone else.

I’m sharing my journey because it helps me learn from my mistakes and I hope someone else will learn from my mistakes and make better decisions. I enjoy sharing what I know and what I’ve learned with others.

If you have recently started a new journey or set a new goal for yourself, I’d love to hear about it. What is your “WHY” and what do you do when you get stuck or feel like giving up.

2021 MS Tax Lien Auction Closing

I’m pretty sure there may still be some MS Tax Lien Auctions still going, but for me it’s a wrap for 2021. Although, I had planned on winning 6 bids, I won 3.

I almost feel like I have to watch the auction live because I would have missed out on winning the three bids, I did place if I wasn’t watching some of it.

Overall, I think I did pretty well and I’m looking forward receiving some mailbox money after the first of 2022. Why after the first of 2022?

Well, because we are almost into the holiday season and some people are going to be too busy shopping for presents, taking trips, etc, not thinking about those property taxes until tax season which is what I’ve come to love about bidding on tax liens in August.

Having A Property Manager is AWESOME!

I honestly don’t know how other long distance real estate investors handle work orders from their tenants.

I wrote a blog previously about how valuable having a property manager has been to my team.

Today, I received a text from my Property Manager. I’m thinking a bunch of things like is the tenant okay, was there storm damage from Hurricane Ida, etc.

Low and behold, it was about the stove. The stove wasn’t connected properly and a part burned out. Go figure!

No one was injured. The property is still standing. The stove has been repaired and I reimbursed her the amount that she paid for the part. Luckily, I purchased warranties on all the appliances I purchased or that may have hurt my feelings and my pockets. 😂

My advice to anyone who is considering buying long distance real estate rentals or just investing in rentals in your neighborhood, try looking into getting a property manager. The service they provide to you is worth the money.
