QuickBooks Online is easier for consumer use, but I personally very much prefer the pro versions. 

If you’re going to purchase before the end of the year then commit to it and its fine to have a deadline.Exploring financing was the most time consuming for us.

Frequently the REI/consumer applies to 3 or 5 different HELOC lenders before a credit line is actually opened -- the better rate HELOC has higher standards, so REI/consumers go through this time-exhaustive exercise of getting denied a bunch because the 4 best rate HELOC lenders denied them, it's not until the 5th that it's approved and open.

You're on the right track, just keep educating yourself and don't go into consumer debt!

There are consumer protection laws in place which says they do have to release this information to a Trustee or the heirs, but they will play dumb so they can rack up the late charges prior to giving you the payoff amounts.

The law requires you to act reasonably, the absence of which is just...negligence.The civil justice system tries to be fair, but from a practical standpoint, but when it comes to real estate investors/landlords v. consumers cases, the REI starts out in a hole. 

Warranty company’s are in business to make money, which means they cost consumers more money than they pay out.  

@Jay Hinrichs Yes, the 120 day delinquency rule are only for owner occupied, consumer loans.
