    Hey Guys and Girls,
    Just wanted to know what the best books there are out there to read on real-estate.
    Looking for a book which talks about how you can own multiple investment homes, something like that

    Thanks in advance!

    I found Seven Steps to Wealth by John Fitzgerald and How You Could Build a $10 Million Property Portfolio in Just 10 Years to be very helpful when I first started investing. They talk about how you can build up a property portfolio of multiple properties over time.

    I've read Steve McKnight's '0 to 130' as well as '0 to 260+'  and found them to be both practical and inspirational.
     
    I've read a few Margaret Lomas books but found that I was mentally comparing and cross checking with Steve's advice. I guess there is something about Steve's writing style that really appeals to me and his investment methods also strike a chord.

    I also read Helen Collier-Kogtevs '47 Biggest Mistakes…' and found her stories interesting but if it is a practical how to guide your after then this isn't it. As the title suggests it is more about what to avoid based on her and her clients experiences, rather than a practical how to guide.

    I gave Robert Kiyosaki's 'Rich Dad Poor Dad'  a go but really struggled through it. He laboured his points and after reading other investing books I didn't feel the message was new. I felt that other authors have taken Roberts message/teachings and have developed them further.

    My best advice is to read wide and far – you never know when you might find some gold.

    Hope this helps.
