I also verify that the employment and landlords Im calling are who they say they are and not just their friends lying to me.I use Intuit Payment Network as the primary form of rental payments.

There's a healthy balance there, but good food for thought.(4) Focus on the 1 Project and shut your mouth about the pipeline.This makes sense and albeit counter intuitive is the right approach.

She says that it is intuition.

The idea of "good debt" seems very counter-intuitive to us.  

I refinanced the mortgage in my name only, she signed quitclaim deed, I paid her what she and I agreed was fair for her share.Fast forward a few years, the property is now a rental and I need to calculate my adjusted cost basis.My intuition is that my adjusted cost basis is 50% of our adjusted cost basis when we were joint tenants, plus what I paid her, plus 100% of eligible improvements since then. 

Don't have hard experience on this one backing me up, it's just that intuitively, that number feels too high unless the property is high-end, or each unit is 1,100+ sqft. or something like that.Most investors that I know don't really pay any attention to Zillow estimates.

But, there are opportunists lurking everywhere, so we have to develop good judgement and intuition to be able to recognize those wanting to take advantage of our lack of knowledge.Zachary -- these 1-day seminars and 3-day workshops all seem to use a variation on the same theme, and I can’t imagine that your experience will be any different if you go.  

Does anyone have any success using the Intuit QuickBooks Payment system?

If my former intuition is correct, I will make good money.  

@Dave Meyer Although it may seem intuitive (that more posts = more colleagues), seeing the actual numbers really drives the point.
