Hi I was wondering if anyone had any interest in discussing books based on real estate and investing, or if anyone had any good books they would like to recommend.

 

 I recently finished reading a book Confessions of a Real Estate Entrepreneur, by James Randel. I found this book to be great, i could apply all his stories and advice to real situations, I am from the tri-state area, and one of the reasons I read this book is because I have heard of this guy many times. He is a Real estate Investor/attorney in connecticut.  For over 20 years he has been investing in Tri-state properties. I would love to discuss some of his strategies/approaches with anyone else.  This is a must read for anyone in the north east!!

Too funny - you mentioned James Randalls book. I just picked it up, and like what I have read so far. Is it me - or does he seem to have alot of dumb luck???

I probably have read over 50 rei related books and definantly have my favorites. We should move this to the forum.

If there is a book or specific subject in rei your interested in -ask me, and I am sure I can reccomend a good book.

Extraordinary popular delusions by Charles Mcckay -- this will let you understand what a mania is  - and not to participate in them

The intilgent investor by Benjamin Graham, every where he says stock in your head say real estate

and last but not least

fooled by randomness and the black swan by Nassim Nicholas Taleb

first learn to think, then learn techinuques, with the right frame of mind you wil fool yourself and lose money
