The way I do this in QBO is to record a journal entry at the end of each month using the property management statement.

@Guy Gimenez Well, if real estate doesn't work out for you you should consider journalism, or poetry, or motivational speaking! 

The pilot program didn't play out too well although the concept is great.

I then stumble upon real estate and fell in love with the concept of how it can create wealth over time(the BRRR Investing).

But, yes, there are times when those methods do help to support the valuation of a complex assignment.And a VERY IMPORTANT CONCEPT I learned very early on in my training, I (an appraiser) don't tell you what the value is, the Buyer/s (market data) tell me what the value most reasonably should be.

I decided that it is time to become financially literate and understand the concepts myself.

At a certain point, the concept of reciprocity will kick in and they will feel a need to help you.

I don't understand why this concept is hard to grasp but this is BP.

Focusing purely on the numbers.Opportunity Cost of Renting: No AppreciationLet's start by understanding the concept of appreciation in the context of real estate.

I get what you and others have said about SEO tools, and it sounds like a great concept for wholesalers or investers with large porfolio's, but I do worry that for me, with such a small niche market and with so few properties that fit our criteria, I'd be spinning my wheels a little if I tried to do lead gen that way.
