I suggest you learn to use it to save on having your accountant root through a box of papers and to better understand where you are financially.

there is a huge tree in front yard, roots ?

Keep working hard, keep saving, keep educating yourself and you will get there no matter what.I'm rooting for you!

This is a mindset that is deeply rooted in the fear of not believing in ones ability to manage a business so, just keep it simple and 'attack all debt' . 

. $3K/month.1) sewer line: we are having sewer root blading and re-scope again, then decide if we need a replacement. 2) plumbing: main shut-off is copper, visible plumbing in bathrooms are copper.3) electrical:  electrician coming tomorrow.

This is mostly because you are dealing with people that buy into a community to put down permanent roots and don't want to be transient (like renters) and are living in very close proximity with shared walls. 

Knowing the root causes helps.

I'm rooting for you!
