If you set a contract up with completion dates and phases of completion along the way, then require reports that coincide with the phases - it solves a lot of problems.  

Quickbooks can take to 100 doors if you have an accounting knowledge, like I said depends on your activities.Even cheap accounting programs can have a manipulated chart of accounts and sub-accounts to produce accurate financial statements in very little time.Accounting is the language of business, if you can't speak accounting then it's like being in France speaking only English. :)     

So, although I see what your measurements are trying to do, I think you'd need to run the same numbers on some other markets like DFW, Cali, Florida, Atlanta, Chicago, etc to see if its really accurate indication or if its just coincidence. 

Trump gets inaugurated as president of the United States and we sign off at an early age for a rental that cash flows on day 1, what a coincidence!

Or an opportunity may coincide with the location of your first full time job.Best of luck

@Russell Brazil Coincidence that I listened to Podcast # 192 this morning on my way to work.

@Aaron Frances - I would not do the FHA - The PMI does not drop off and you would have to refi again to get it off.  

Unfortunately, the rent doesn't always coincide with what your mortgage payment will be.2.

Aaron Frances Let me know if you need another contact.

@Aaron Frances before you go too far find out what is considered domicile height in your municipality.
