Are you continuing your education? For the investor and wealth-builder, the continual growth of your financial know-how is invaluable. While we’re a huge advocate of using podcasts to further your education in bite-sized pieces, nothing beats a great print resource. 

Books are among our favorite things at Memphis Invest. We have an ever-growing list of resources that we love to recommend not only to our investors but to one another in the office. Continuing to enrich and grow in the knowledge of finance and investing is so key to your success as a turnkey real estate investor.

As we head into Spring, it’s time to take make room on the bookshelf from new reading! You may have some of these on your shelves already, but there’s no doubt some new releases you’ll want to check out, too.

For this list, we’re specifically covering books on retirement planning since many real estate investors look to use their investments as a way to save up for the future.

How long has it been since you last picked up a good book? What about any good real estate books?  Reading gets shoved by the wayside more often than not. It’s a shame, since it means you’re probably missing out! Whether you’re dusting off an old favorite full of good reminders or challenging yourself with new material, reading is a great way to rejuvenate yourself—whether in reorienting your goals, learning something new about yourself, or giving you fresh ideas to prep for the new year.

For real estate investors, learning from those before us—in business and entrepreneurship as well as specifically in real estate—is a valuable piece of the puzzle.

From now until the end of the year, pick up a book or two. You never know what ideas will spur you onward to greater success in real estate investment.

How long has it been since you’ve picked up a good book? All of us could stand to do more reading, whether it’s looking at articles on the Internet or getting our hands on a real ink-and-paper publication. Books are a great source of inspiration and motivation — to see things differently, do things better, and even make ourselves better.
