Want to Learn About Real Estate

[Social_disturbance]

I don't know what the extent of experience is of the DJ's on this forum as far as real estate, but i'm pretty interested to see if anyone has any experience and could possibly recommend some books, or other resources. I'm not really interested in being a real estate broker - More interested in learning about buying, selling, renting, etc.

Thanks in advance.

Now isn't the time to be trying to make a quick profit.
But if you have the money to hold (for maybe a few years) then it's a good time to get some good deals.

The best advice I can give you is research the markets in your area. Check house prices and how long everything has been on the market. Knowing this stuff is the only way you can spot a deal and get a feel for things.

I won't recommend anybooks because they are all pretty much the same. Most of them are geared for flipping which is not something that is easy right now.

Personally, I think that the best investors know the real estate laws such as a realitor, or mortgage broker as a base. Knowing the legal aspects could make things easier for you than someone who just knowing the market. It'll help you recognize the real deals.
