Thirdly, I know his book was written few years ago, but his example has $2400 gross rent per month on a $100K property (which he bought for $80K). 

I have been a home owner, and have owned rentals.I have educated myself with book, tapes (Carrolton Sheets lol ), seminars, Fortune builders, Rich Dad - Poor Dad, etc.

The first was J Scott’s book on cost estimating, and the second was Paul Rsajain’s book “Real Estate Rehab Investing Bible”.

Hi, I currently have a relationship with a property management company that has implemented a new accounting practice, that basically puts previous tenants accounts recievables to the property management company directly on the books of the property owners in the form of an expense.

Are there any standard contracts folks have used for this?

The contract is pretty standard - however it's incredibly biased towards the seller. 

Having read books like Rich Dad Poor Dad and Four Hour Workweek years ago, I've always been familiar with "getting money to work for you" via real estate.

This is getting ridiculous that everyone is being held hostage by these standards that don't take into account how it affects everyone involved.

I have read many books and posts on the subject and I am looking for others that would be willing to share their accumulated knowledge on how to find deals and money to fund those deals.

From my (extensive) research and long list of books on the topic I anticipate many problems which will just have to be addressed as they come up.
