Success isn't easy and it's never done alone. To really succeed as a real estate investor, as in all other endeavours, you need a team.

Often the most experienced person you need is either too expensive to add to your team, or they're unavailable. So, for those times you hope they've written a book that you can lean on to help you though the struggles.

Here's my list of 21 must-own books that you really should pick up at some point. You may not follow their techniques or model, but you should at least be aware of them. You also can still be successful without them, but they'll sure help.

To avoid hurt feelings these are presented in no particular order. If you want to know my personal Top 5, you can <a href="mailto:steve@stevewhitemortgages.ca">email me</a> ;)
