Recommended reading - Real Estate Notes Books

I would suggest [REMOVED] and "Making Money With Mobile Homes" by Lonnie Scruggs. This will give you a lot of great "back door" information regarding the real estate note business.

Those of you that have my book know there are 10-15 pages dealing with ways to use notes, create notes and obtain notes. By no means, is it the total method. There are lots of helpful people and books out there. Rich

I think one of Lonnie's earlier books is more specific to notes - Taking the Mystery Out of Money. It teaches you about money and how it works. I really like that phrase, "Stop working for money and make money work for you!" Definitely recommend it!

I agree Rachel. Learning Notes and the HP 12C calculator, and being devoted to paper investing (VS owning properties) in these next 5 yrs will make alot of REIs money. Paper is safer at less than 65% LTV.

Being a PLer and getting 16% - 20% interest is a cool way to make money, especially in a Roth.
