"How I turned $1,000 into a Million in Real Estate in my Spare Time" by William Nickerson stands out. I picked it up during my lunch hour at Brentano's in D.C. in 1966. I ended up buying a 4 unit building on Capitol Hill for $1,000 down and followed the book's recommendations, i.e., rehab to increase value; do 1031 exchanges and so on. It has gone on from there 48 years and counting. That book changed my life more so than any other book by itself although certainly other books have significantly impacted how I view and do life.
Great question to contemplate. Thanks BarryRX!
