He will not have a pretty notebook or folder or fancy materials, but it is just as good investment advice from someone who is rehabbing.Don't get taken in by the hype.

I need to understand this process and want to learn but need some better reference material.

I agree that most of the material learned from the book just gives you a general idea of the do's and dont's.My office is located in Orland Park but I live in the north side of the city.

Great on paper, tough in reality.

The Gross operating income is without any debt service (P or I).What's funny is the duplex numbers are better than the comparable SFH numbers I have in columns D and E, for which I'm using the 1% rule, which I've heard is a tough number to achieve.

@Scott CarsonWould you happen to have any suggestions for reading material pertaining to NPN investing or note investing in general?

Deals down here are tough, so I thought I might keep an eye on Sac and surrounding areas. 

Where you live this can be tough, so you may need a different strategy as @David Faulkner suggested, which may be more active, fix and flip, or other strategy that works in your market.  

I'd expect to find a hodgepodge of materials and techniques, and this is something I wouldnt even consider handling given your rehab budget and expected profit margin.  

I know it's a tough market.
