I read 1 book. “Buyit, Fix it, Sell It” by Kevin Myers

I now own 34 rentals, 3 comercial buildings, 1 vacation home.

The key is buy cheap properties.

I had a couple quick questions if anyone can help.

  1. I am looking for some recommendations on the best beginners type book on “paper”…someplace a total newbie should start his learning process.

  2. I was also curious if anyone had any experience or feedback regarding a computer program that helps analyze REI called “on target”? (its at www.invest-2win.com)…seems relatively cheap and might be a good investment for someone new like myself to help evaluate future rental properties.

Thanks for any help

ps: I apologize if both of these topics are easy to find using search. I only had about 5 minutes so I thought I’d ask for now.

Hmmm, posted this yesterday maybe was deleted? There’s a free software program that does investment analysis, check it out before spending the $100. Its at nichesw.com

Rizz, without question the best way for any beginner in real estate is with options and lease options.
Easy, safe, and no money out of pocket. Good luck.
