Thanks @Andrew Postell That was a abundance of overwhelming information but it was exactly what I was looking for.

I'm kinda overwhelmed  by the paperwork - want an attorney  to assist ....but they seem uninterested - even if you offer to pay!!!

It got to one point where he requested my staff sit outside of the tenant's home for an entire week so we could count the people who came and went out of the property because he was convinced that there must be someone else living in the house that wasn't on the lease.We told him that his request was well out of the norm but we'd be willing to do it for him.

There are tons more features and it can seem a little overwhelming at first but I just used it for the very basics as first and then added features I was using it over time.

I find its kind of a progression.. you need a lot of capital for the note business the benefits of rentals is leverage of course.what i found was many did well as landlords then tired and just started to sell them off as they were retiring and note income worked for them.. and or they blended they had some rentals and had some notes. does not take a landlord that is suffering burnt out landlord syndrome but wants cash flow to understand how notes work.. but of course you have to choose wisely on the notes  for sure.. as it relates to BP  overwhelmingly the guys and gals on this site are going for bigger yields that they hope to make with NPN so they work for those.. and its not just passive income by any means its a business..
