When I get a colleague request from someone, most of the time, its accompanied with a message so I know first who they are, and second why they are reaching out specifically.But sometimes, I get a colleague request from a name I know nothing about... not sure if they reached out related to a forum post, or if they want to pitch me on something that I may or may not be interested in.Kind of reminds me of LinkedIn, where my approach has always been I don't connect with any random person, only those that I have either met in person, or have interacted with in some business sense.

Don’t remind me of that place.

  @ Dave Foster I couldn't agree more that your answer is a great reminder that wee don't always have the luxury of time that we think we might and what the priorities really should be. 

That is usually enough to remind people that someone has to pay the electric.

To name few features, you can connect your bank & credit card account(s) to QBO to automatically download the transactions daily, set up rules for any recurring charges, setup recurring transactions (ie invoices to tenants), sent out reminder (individual or batch), accept online payments (cc & bank) which can be tenant or landlord initiated, track multiple income sources (ie. flip, rental, wholesale), track individual properties, charge tenants for reimbursable expenses, track 1099 contractors (and e-file tax forms), and create a budget.

@Nicholas Borda A good tip I was reminded of recently was to look up the other owners on the street or in the general area on the local property records website. 

Examples of such work or tasks include guiding people who are blind, alerting people who are deaf, pulling a wheelchair, alerting and protecting a person who is having a seizure, reminding a person with mental illness to take prescribed medications, calming a person with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) during an anxiety attack, or performing other duties.

Reminds me of the loans that help sink us into the great recession.  

I whipped it out and reminded them of the conversation. 

Not really, I think one should have the freedom to pursue what you want without such constraints, but to ignore reality is a bad strategy in general and much worse than 'rent control' could come down the pipe. i was reminded of this recently when looking @ a property in Berkeley, CA and being told that in that great city you are less the "owner" of your building and more the "caretaker" while the city gets to decide precisely what you're allowed to do with it (by the way - capped rent increase in Berkeley is 2/3 of regional CPI, and if you don't follow a HUGE checklist you can't raise rents at all!).
