One of the books I highly recommend everyone take a look at is who not how by Dan Sullivan

One book that helped me wasn't actually a book. It was a journal. It is the Brandon Turner Intention Journal. This book kept me focused on my top goals along with most important next steps to hit my daily, weekly, monthly goals. I would carry this journal around with me everywhere I would go to make sure I was working on MY goals not W2 employers goals. This kept the goals in the forefront of my mind so that I spent my precious time and energy on them FIRST before W2 tasks/goals. NOTE: You should read the purple book as well => Rich Dad Poor Dad.

Had a great Q&A with Alan, some key takeaways that I found helpful for some issues have run into recently: 1) Late fees are there for a reason. There’s nothing wrong with being fair and showing some mercy, but it could open you open to Fair Housing issues if you waive late fees for one person but not the next. Late fees can also incentivize the tenant to change their behavior and start paying on time. 2) It’s important to have a solid tenant selection system. Alan mentioned a few, income, credit, background, rental history, referrals. He recommended an investigative tenant screening company called Rent Perfect.
