• A Fool's Guide to Landlording, By Tony and Sandra Midea
  Book Description: You have to be a cold hearted SOB to be a successful landlord. Find out what happens to a naïve, kind hearted couple that entered this shark den with all the right intentions, only to be bloodied and battered by manipulative, devious tenants. Written in a witty, comical tone, the book provides lots of practical, useful advice for people interested in entering this business. However, plenty of warnings are given, as are outright pleas for you to “stay away”.

• The Courage to Be Rich, By Mark O. Haroldsen
  There are only a small handful of books that I can highly recommend to someone who wants to be successful in real estate investing, and "The Courage to Be Rich" is one of my top choices. It is one of the books I enjoy reading again and again.

  In the book, Mark O. Haroldsen instills the concept of IGDS (I'm going to die someday), driving home the fact that we all are born with a finite number of days in our lives. What we do with those days and the sooner we get started are up to us. The sooner we face that fact and summon up the courage to go after success, the better. Mark introduces in easy to understand terms, what it takes to become a real estate investor and how residential real estate investing is an excellent vehicle toward riches. He tells us about fixer uppers (yuks) and how "Yuks create big bucks".

  Although I first read this book in the 80's, I still enjoy it and recommend it if you are thinking of getting into the real estate investing market.
