 I like this statement. When Donald Trump won the elections, so many gurus on BP said that there is a pending recession. Such a joke.

I'm unsure if you can manually upload transactions in Stessa, but I personally wouldn't find it an issue connecting to Yodlee through them. I've used Xero before and it saves a ton of time having direct bank-feeds over manual uploads. 

 Thanks. I did cancel my mint and personal capital accounts. I just don't see the need. I am not fully convinced on  such 3rd party software 

 Fair enough, have you had any luck with software which you are manually uploading transactions? Many people I know don't find it a hassle just uploading when they use similar software.

 I am reviewing Stessa. Fact is there are so many of these tracking thing out there.. Some ends up selling user info to other services. Looks like they all copying from Quickbooks

Finding the right mortgage loan is arguably just as important as finding the right property. After evaluating multiple loan officers and companies within a 1yr span - comparing rates, lender cost to close, and ability to close on time, no one was close to McGlone Mortgage Group.

Brenda Quackenbush(Loan Originator) took personal responsibility throughout the loan process, demonstrating timely and prompt manner communication. Overseeing the loan process thoroughly and competently, meeting crucial deadlines. My response to emails questions was in real-time, usually within 5mins.

Brenda and the closing team anticipated complications and took proactive steps to avoid any problems and resolve issues in a timely manner. The closing date was earlier than the original contractual closing date.

In my opinion, what sets McGlone Mortgage Group apart is that when problems come up, they’re going to give you the personal attention you need and a diverse mortgage program availability for owner and nonowner-occupied.

Feel free to contact Brenda for your mortgage lending needs!

 You absolutely right !!

I don't like giving 3rd parties my login info to bank accounts. Same reason I don't use personal capital.

 I am curious to your statement of not allowing 3rd party.. any experience?. I was thinking the same on not giving my info to 3rd party
