I believe there's an e-book here on BP called "Real Estate Rewind" - if I remember right, it asks about 20 or so investors what they would've done differently when they started out, etc.  

Then look for "Letters" under "eBooks".

Many libraries now allow you to borrow many ebooks or eaudiobooks for free so you can even often read/listen to books for free .As far as the hard money interest rates , those sound like they actually might be points . 3.5 -4 Points would be on the high end today but possible some lenders are charging that much .Points is an amount you are borrowing on top of the interest rate .So if you borrowed $100,000 at 3 points that would mean $3000 in addition you’d have the interest which is often over 8% per year on hard money as others have mentioned .

Aaron, do you mean the ebook?

Dense urban areas obviously have more people but there are typically more competitors nearby also.I have a website with a bunch of free information and resources, and a newly released free ebook, The Keys to Buying Your First Laundromat, that should give you a pretty good idea about what it takes to own a laundromat and how to get one if you decide it's right for you.

@Bernard Haugh Congrats, I am going to send you a PM with a quick ebook I just wrote for our website that goes over common mistakes I see investors make when buying in Chicago. 

I'd recommend you read the quick ebook Brandon Turner made called "7 years to 7 figures" (search for it at www.biggerpockets.com/files).

If you are looking for some complimentary income buying cash might be a good option.
