Reccomended reading:

Rich Dad Poor Dad: Kiyosaki
Teaches how the super rich view money and investments, and the
mistakes the poor and middle class make. Excellent, excellent book.

I recommend against Kiyosaki's book. Here's a review that's been well researched. According to the research, there was no 'rich dad', he doesn't own more than like 1 or 2 properties, and some of the stuff he recommends is unethical and at worst illegal. As far as a "woohoo you can do it b/c anyone can!" cheerleading book, it's great I suppose.

The other books look great though! [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

My $.02...

we had a good thread on here awhile back about it

i didn't use it as a real estate manual, it was the cheerleading and money management stuff

if you have a strong background in this, great...skip it. but his point is a good one, most people do not. most people are financially clueless. for those of us who were not given the proper tools with which to manage and build wealth, the book is an excellent primer and eye opener.
