Books about investing in real estate: rental properties, multifamily buildings, syndications and building wealth through property. Most are written by investors and operators about deals they actually did.
This list holds 22 books published between 2015 and 2024, 2 with an audiobook edition. A book is on it only when real estate investing is a central subject of the book, judged from the book's own description, not when it comes up in passing. The most-rated on Amazon come first.
