I believe you even have to register with the ALA if you plan on fishing off a dock or beach. 

My goals are to turn my financial ship around and steer myself to financial freedom.

You will also see some common themes: -Decor that is appropriate to the theme of the area -Mix of nice wall hangings and hard objects without being cluttered (again- place appropriate; don't hang an anchor and ship wheel in a mountain cabin)-Items that provide a "Pop" of color in photos; can be throw pillows, bed skirts, tile backsplash, bar stools, back side of front door etc-Some coordination of color scheme throughout.

I think that ship has sailed, unless you can pick up super dirt cheap deal.   

I am currently a sole proprietor (ie not a legit business because I am just figuring this all out).Talking with Fund & Grow made me feel safe like I had someone else at the ship's helm, but their service is NOT free.

I'm gearing up to approach banks to get per-qualified for a loan and start to build relations ships with an underwriter that I will use over and over again for my first few REI deals.

Furthermore, the work schedule when working on ships is usually something like 2 months on and 2 months off, and so on.My first question is: If I went down this path, Is 2 months enough time to complete a deal before I have to leave for work again, and would it be too difficult to manage and grow my portfolio if I have to leave every 2 months and go out to sea?

The buyer is loaded , in the big picture it’s a great deal Unlikely when we do approach with buyer finance, we’re going to say the developer stands to lose a lot of profit if you build a house here so if he doesn’t build it, it’s giving up a big opportunity so he’s willing to do it if you finance the build of your house because I don’t wanna show that I don’t have the money to fund that you know she would jump ship right away all that said,  said I am scared, my hope is the dwindling   by the day, and it looks like the probability of being screwed is high and I screwed I mean unable to recover.

If you've wondered why accountants are now calling themselves "business advisors", it's because the value is not in doing your repetitive bookkeeping, it's in advice around ever-changing variables like the best tax structures and reaching your financial goals.Companies like https://www.botkeeper.com/ have raised huge rounds of investment, not because they replace accountants completely, but because they automate most of the repetitive work and use a few accountants for the tricky details like what @Cathie Kovacs pointed out.Gita is right that quickbooks desktop is not going anywhere, but this is because it is a hassle to jump ship from quickbooks desktop once it's set up not because its the best solution for your bookkeeping.After building Kitt I truely got an insight into just how much could be automated in accounting, especially in real estate.

We have Amazon prime because of the free shipping.
