Hello BP,The Producer Price Index (PPI) is a valuable metric to monitor, as it measures inflation from a business perspective (what businesses pay for services/goods) that isn't always reflected in the Consumer Price Index (CPI) or "inflation" which is commonly discussed in headlines and among other investors.

Hi ALL,Can anyone recommend a easy to use property management tool that we can use, so far, we have 4 rentals and growing, We will like to have better control of the information and have a easy system for tenants to pay rent.As always, thank you for your input!!

It said this is pursuant to tax code section 23.55It said I can protest in next 30 days1) Does this mean we have to pay taxes and interest for prior 3 years?

Yes, the government pays the Section 8 rent timely, but more and more tenants are having to pay a portion of their rent.

Let them pay the deposit with a credit card.

Ignore the $1,250 per month because that's your cost of housing, if you didn't pay that on the home you'd have paid that in rent so that's a non factor. 

With regards to your example about plaster vs. drywall most insurance policies no longer will pay for the plaster whether you have a public adjuster or not. 

I am the type of person that is normally looking to save a money to increase my investing so the thought of paying someone to do my taxes when we could do them ourselves didn't make sense. 

I asked if there was anything else we could try, he got very angry and demanded I pay him in full.

You've got to include loan pay down, appreciation, and depreciation in your return calculations.The point of cash flow is to keep you safe.
