i looked into the same subject awhile back and it was TOUGH to find exactly what i was looking for.for the price and simplicity..it's hard to beat QuickBooks Customer Manager 2.5it's not hard to create the forms and database in Access.

Two books I would recommend to you are Fed Up by Danielle DiMartino Booth (who is a household name for anyone who follows finance at an intermediate level, and The Lords of Finance by Liaquat Ahamed, which has a lot of language that's inaccessible to the more lay people, but still includes good central banking history.But you'll definitely want to stop getting your finance/economics news from the "bro investor financial advisors". 

I did se it grow very quickly but I don't have alot of money so I figured the few extra hundred per check were better off for me to have in accessable cash to invest with.

I can now live where I want, near where my W-2 job is, in access to public trans which my fiancé uses for work while we are paying “rent” well under market while We grow equity in OUR building.

I am pretty good at Excel and an expert in Access.

This I am willing to compromise on.Do you think you can code a database in Access that will work with QB pro??

Cost per sq. ft is definitely higher than the rents would justify.Wind and flood insurance in the Keys are either inaccessible or extremely expensive.  

The front of the garage has 2 car side by side parking (for compact cars), and the back of the garage is inaccessible for a car.

And this has partial yet attractive waterfront feature in just a direct view and fishing/dipping your feet in access, but no dock.

Then, as mentioned above in accessing the project risks and other factors like management, frequency of repairs or say collections the subject property is found to be 60% as desirable as the ideal investment, then 7% divided by 60% = 12% as an appropriate cap rate.An overall capitalization rate is another approach and mostly used for smaller commercial properties.
