There are some events listed on Gordon Moss web site:  http://realestateandnoteinvesting.com/events/ Can anyone else chime in about good note buying conferences?  

@Doyle Wilhoite There are a ton of podcast and articles on the web, quick google search and you'll find a lot of helpful content.

In looking through Bigger Pockets & other resources on the web; it appears this estimator is attempting to take me to the cleaners, but I'd love to hear from any of you who have more experience with this sort of thing. 

Please point me to a good one source book or web site that tells me most of what I need to know.

If you can't self manage (which everyone thinks is easy - but it's a LOT of work so depends on your available time to devote to answering basic questions over and over, calling 3 cleaners to replace the one that called out for the 5th time in season, calling an A/C company because your guest turned the thermostat down to 65 in 100 degree weather, etc.) then either go with iTrip if they have a strong franchise in your market or a mid-size local company with a good reputation.

Now, in reality nobody goes to the trouble to do all that math, but it is pretty easy to eyeball it if you are go to any of the web sites that help potential renters find a place to live and do a search on the rents. 

All on line via web pages and occasionally an email.
