I found The Intelligent Investor helpful. It’s a classic. Freakonomics is an easy introduction to eco topics.

I got 6 shares on this post and 1 reply. Not complaining but lol

I second what BCG said. I read Freakonomics in high school and still listen to the authors podcast. Intelligent investor is considered the holy grail of investment books by warren buffet.

For any of you real estate investors, what tools or sources did you learn from when getting started. Can’t find a mentor currently so want to find some highly recommended books or videos. If focused on the tri-state area (NY, NJ, Long Island mainly) that would be even better. My hope is to buy and rent out a apartment while also owning a house and house hacking that by renting part of it out. Trying to understand all the steps, traps, and how to find if it’s a good investment.
