Quickbooks can take to 100 doors if you have an accounting knowledge, like I said depends on your activities.Even cheap accounting programs can have a manipulated chart of accounts and sub-accounts to produce accurate financial statements in very little time.Accounting is the language of business, if you can't speak accounting then it's like being in France speaking only English. :)     

Hi everyone,This is a post aimed at @Joshua Dorkin, @Brandon Turner and everyone that listened to the Grant Cardone Podcast from February 2015.I have to say that at first I was not impressed by this guy, as I am not generally impressed by slick-haired, sales focused used car salesmen...

Can anyone direct me to any good (sourced) charts/graphs that show why buy&hold real estate is a much better investment in the long term than the stock market?  

I recently found a 6 unit commercial property:4 residential units upstairs (3 bed, 2 bed, (2) 1 beds)1 hair salon 600 sq ft1 vacant bar 2000 sq ftTotal rents per month with bar = $3500I am interested in putting in an offer.

What does this chart tell us?

My stress levels are off the charts...  

I have pretty good genes because I still have very few grey hairs on my head.I am open for any proposal you might have for me.  

Okay, ever institutional investor has what they call the benchmark, to all it is the S&P 500 composite index cumulative returns (See chart) It is 11% per annum since I think 1914.

At that point you really are just like a beginning Stock Investor, who "Hopes" that his decision, usually based on Fundamentals and not the actual Price Movement on a chart, will work out to be a good one.

I live 40 miles away, so I called the owner of the biggest plumbing co in the city and he and 2 techs drpped everything to get to the property within 10 minutes of my call.I had put a garage outdoor access remote on the outside of the house.. they couldn't get in thru that because THE POWER WAS NOW OFF.Luckily i had put a coded door knob on the kitchen door that opens to the deck-- i gave them the code and they were inside instantly.The water heater was STILL SPEWING WATER full blast in a stream so strong it was hitting the second story ceiling and hitting the ELECTRICAL PANEL also located in the garage and that's what had knocked out the power .The plumbers immediately turned off the inside water main cutoffand sent me photos of the EMERGENCY SITUATION the pm so calmly let me know about by email an hour earlier.i fired the pm co that instant and got on the phone to start farm (my rental policy ins co) whiledriving an hour to the property.i also called the city's best WATER EMERGENCY REMEDIATION COMpany while en route.When i got there, the water was turned off ( finally)the drywall ceiling had fallen in, the light fixtures destroyed, the garage door open case was HALF FULL OF WATER and there were 1000s of mold blooms on every surface and hundreds of stacks of spiky growing black mold (looked like iron fiilings we used to play with in that game we all had as kids where u use a magnet and drag the iron filings around to put hair and a mustache on the bald guy cartoon photo) the mold spikes were 1.5" tall on the woot railings and stairs going into the house, on all of my beautiful built in wooden garage shelves--- what a mess-- like the streets of Beirut after the bombs went offand I don't have allergies -- but i could not even STAND inside the garage because the WET MOLD MILDEW SMELL was so strong it instantly gagged me and gave me a headache and i couldn't breathe.So here Ewe are on Jan 17 and now i know that the BEST rental dwelling policy dies NOT COVER MOLD REMEDIATION AT ALL ( so far $14,000) but it does cover water damage with a $2500 deductible...
