I just couldn't find deals that allowed me to be all in after purchase and rehab for no money out of pocket like I used to. 

especially no up front money to pay for set up . 

This means a 3/2 and a 1/1 instead of a 2/1 and a 2/1 since you can live in a smaller space to make more money.

Of course making money is on that list, but more importantly, address the other goals which are just as important.

The other book you mentioned caters more to that audience and gets people hooked on the idea that they can invest in real estate with no money and then teaches them how in subsequent books. 

Of one unit is vacant, at least you have money still coming in on a monthly basis.

The tenant isn't stupid and knows he owes the rent, so he will probably pack up and leave before the court hearing.

How much money do you have to invest?

Depreciation and appreciation are the other two ways you make money off that property. 

It will cause you to lose money every single time.
