real estate books

I am a big buyer of real estate & investing books. My uncle (who is an investor that I work with on a daily basis) told me a long time ago that: “if you get one good idea from a book, or tape, or seminar…. it was worth the money”. I wholeheartedly agree!

The bookshelf behind my office desk is filled with real estate sales books, real estate investor biographies, and ‘millionaire’ books. I have to admit that most of the books from the latter category are full of crap, and many just regurgitate the same information. In almost every book, however, I find one little nugget that makes the $24.95 worthwhile.

You know the Carleton Sheets tapes? Yes, I own a few. No, I don’t buy into most of what he says. But…. YES…. there are many things that Carleton brings up that make me think. And THAT’s what makes it worthwhile. You have to get that seed planted in your head and work the problem while you’re driving. While you’re lying in bed. While you’re jogging. I find that my best ideas all come from a ’seed’ that germinates while I’m doing something mindless.
