Can anyone recommend some good real estate investing / personal finance books?

I have read Millionaire Real Estate Investor and Investing in Fixer Uppers. Also, Rich Dad, Poor Dad, and currently reading The Richest Man in Babylon. The Four Hour Work Week is next on the list. Any other suggestions?

Dan;

Two books...

"How I Turned $1,000 Into Three Million in Real Estate in My Spare Time" by William Nickerson

This is the book that started it all. Get it. Read it. You will have to look for a used copy at amazon or ebay as it is an old book. The concepts are spot on though.

"How You Can Become Financially Independent Investing In Real Estate" by Al Lowry

Also an older book, but its solid as well.

You may also have some luck finding these books at your local library. And don't let their age fool you.

It sounds as though you are looking to get started in real estate investment. If so, I would encourage you to have a look at an article I wrote on that subject. You can find it here... http://www.apartment-building-real-estat...

Most of what I teach my readers is how to become successful investing in apartment buildings and commercial real estate. However, I also provide a lot of general information regarding real estate investing in general. Feel free to have a look around.

Best Of Luck...

P.S. The Four Hour Work Week Week is also an excellent read. The author, Timothy Ferriss has hit the nail on the head when it comes to the new realities of what can be accomplished in business using today's technologies. A great example is the outsourcing of tasks to countries like India. However, he does stop short of showing the average person exactly how they too can become a successful online entrepreneur like these people... http://specialprize.sitesell.com/cgi-bin... Once you have read the book, if you agree with me and are searching for "the next step", check out that link, and see how other people are actually doing what Tim is writing about. Cheers

Yeah those are great books and I read them all too. Robert Allen's real estate books are all good too..there are too many to mention.

I also got involved in penny stocks and made some killer returns, see here http://ihavetoadmit.com/doublingpennysto...
