Top 8 FREE Real Estate Investing Books

You have probably noticed a trend here on my blog that it heavily concentrates on real estate investing.   And this is because it is true, my plan to retire early and build enough passive income to financial freedom will come from investing in real estate.  I am a buy and hold investor but I have read dozens if not hundreds of different types of strategies and information regarding all types of real estate investing.

There are so many ways to invest in real estate and if you are interested in getting started or even just building more knowledge,  the best course of action is to read, read and then read some more.  Read as much as you can about investing in real estate.   The more knowledge you build, the easier it will be to make your decision on what kind of investor you will become.  It will also build you with more ammo (knowledge) for when it comes to pull the trigger on a deal.

Please don’t fall for those guru courses and pay tons of money for information.   I have read story after story of how they just take your money and most people come out with nothing.  There is just no need to pay for guru courses when there is so much free information out on the internet.

I have compiled the top 8 FREE amazon books on real estate investing below.  They are FREE, so download them, read them, and build your REI knowledge.
