A bestseller in two previous editions, this classic how-to-do-it book has been comprehensively updated to reflect the realities of today's real estate market. Look here for the latest information
Thorough as hell. Not super detailed on some of the more practical aspects (i.e. it's only somewhat descriptive about analyzing the repairs a house will need), but on the finance and tax sides, it is exhaustive.
Good overall view of real estate investing. Covers all the aspects of RE investing. There is a lot of information in this book. However, if you are looking for info on just investing in rental houses, this would probably not be the first book you should get.
