I have Multiple EIN's, and Several QB accounts and one Subscription -  a desktop version and not cloud based so that might be the difference.I love QB and my accounts are happy with what I send them so to each his own for sure.

Security camera will help, just make sure can access from a desktop computer, not just a cell phone.

Quickbooks desktop is normally $200 - $300 and it is a one-time charge that will last about 3 years.The question is do you need bookkeeping done?

There are some fees you will pay during the process: Appraisal, and what's called a Collateral Desktop Analysis which is an in-house audit on the appraisal.Fees for origination and closing costs should never be paid upfront.

I don’t think I deserve that high of an appraisal based on the work done, but if the bank was willing to give it to me I wouldn’t say no to cheap money hahaSpeaking of that, HELOCs are nice as they have an extremely low cost of capital - closing costs are only a couple hundred dollars and appraisal is the most costly part if you even need one (some lenders will offer desktop appraisals, or use a refi appraisal).

The have over a million annual listers, they have put PC on the map.There is so much more to say about this, but I don't have the time to sit and type out all my thoughts right now.  

I've tried many times and cannot use it. It holds a fraction of the information on the screen at a time as the old forum format. If I check into the forum from my phone the page formatting makes sense, but that's what...

I've tried chatting with a few appraisers on the phone just pick their brains and understand what they're looking for, but it really on makes things worse as there doesn't seem to be any kind of true uniformity in appraising as it ultimately relies on the opinions of humans and desktop appraisal only rely on data and not what can be seen by the human eye.

I grew up in Cupertino CA when it still had dirt roads and no one new what a desk top computer was let alone apple was something you ate and we grew a lot of Apricots there in Cupertino.
