Some good free books on Amazon are "Real-Estate made easy" by Brian Haskins "The Ultimate Real Estate Investing Blueprint" by Sean Terry "No Bs Real-Estate Investing" By Preston Ely and "Flipping Houses Exposed: 34 Weeks In The Life Of A Successful House Flipper" by Danny Johnson.

I do not favor one more than another they are both relatively easy to install (I have installed both kinds).

I have enjoyed all of Og Mandino's books.My favorite is Mission Success.Great books, easy reads, with success principles built into the stories.

It was a short sale with code enforcement issues with the city that took a lot of hours to resolve over the last few months and a lot of negotiations with the first and second lien holder to get it down to the current price (I guess a contract at 4.7% of the unpaid balance isn't the easiest thing to get them to swallow) so it wasn't just an easy just an easy purchase.

I've self-managed two properties total, but one was an easy-to-manage white collar condo type deal, and the other is still in my property--a friend, so no hassles there.I've never self-managed in TX, nor do I know the laws/in/outs, etc.

I forget by who, anyways it explained many of the variables of Economics in a very easy to read analogies.

Can anyone give me suggestions on any easy reads on deal structuring for rehabs?

(It's easy to foresee many possible scenarios that will create this.)For SFRs, a reasonable proxy is to target gross rents as 3.5x of P&I.

I could put down 25% easy, and cashflow all day long.
