  • Great intro book
This was a great overview for someone looking to gather all the basics. I’d say most of this I already learned from his webinars (I have pro access to Bigger Pockets)- but things really sink in when you read them. This book helped me narrow my focus, next up I’m reading Multifamily Millionaire. I definitely recommend reading a copy of this book- it’s not too long or arduous of a read- orient yourself to the world of REI! ... show more

  • Thank you for this guide!
As always, Bigger Pockets delivers realistic, actionable strategies for creating wealth through real estate. One thing I really appreciate about Bigger Pockets is their commitment to promoting ethical, reciprocal behavior, which I understand is not always the case in the real estate space. Its about developing good relationships for the long term win. That makes it more exciting and less scary to pursue my real estate goals. ... show more
