Financial Freedom with Real Estate Investing: The Blueprint To Quitting Your Job With Real Estate - Even Without Experience Or Cash by Michael Blank is both a ‘how to’ and a bracing bit of financial self-help.   Michael Blank, according to his bio and the book’s introduction, is an ex programmer, would-be restauranteur and a seasoned investor who’s lived both near catastrophic failure and phenomenal success. He sets out a strong case that for those looking to retire from their jobs and live on passive income from their property, multi-family apartment blocks provide the most time and cost-efficient solution, relative to flipping single-family homes. Blank then both guides and cheerleads the potential novice property investor through his three-stage process: 1. raising the funds for that all-important first deal, without relying on personal savings, 2: How to interact with brokers as a serious buyer and build the right team of advisors or coaches, 3. Rapid analysis of pote...

HUD Homes Half Off" by Larry Goins Larry Goins is a consultant out of North Carolina. He buys homes off of HUD and flips them for a profit. This book is a how to guide for doing what he does. Here are some highlights: * HUD homes are available at HUDHomeStore.com * HUD organizes their listings in a way that gives you all the information needed to make an offer. * When you make an offer you will have an answer the next day. If rejected, you can submit a new offer. * You might need to make 100 offers to get a good deal, but you can get steep discounts on properties (50% or more). * There is less competition with HUD Homes. Larry Goins buys these houses dirt cheap and then resells the either to investors or to consumers with seller financing. In the case of seller financing he charges 3-6 times the price he paid for the house. For wholesale properties he puts a premium on the property around $10,000. He sells those properties at InvestorsRehab.com. * HUD delivers clear tit...

"What Every Real Estate Investor Needs to Know About Cash Flow" By Frank Gallinelli   Frank Gallineli's book "What Every Real Estate Investor Needs to Know About Cash Flow... And 36 Other Key Financial Measures" is highly technical, but very interesting. I found it helped me by explaining the math behind the deals in plain English.   The book is divided into two parts. The first part covers the basics of real estate investing and an introduction to the concepts that need to be understood. The second part covers individual calculations such as compound interest, cash-on-cash return, and internal rate of return. It is best kept as a reference, so my notes are limited:   How to make money in Real Estate: * Cash Flow - also called "net spendable cash", this is the left over money each month after all of your bills are paid. * Appreciation - the growth in the value of the property over time. * Loan Amortizat...
