Now I've got the "ingredients" how do I utilize this information to make my ingredients into some serious "dough."

The system apparently doesn't allow them fix even the simplest problems - a mistyped e-mail address resulted in 4 calls, 2 e-mails before I could access the paid-for application, and they absolutely CAN NOT correct an e-mail address, no way, no how.

Simplest way to put it together.

Although it's possible to be a successful B&H investor with just those three ingredients, I'm finding I can get much farther much faster with good relationships with other investors.Therefore, like @Joshua Jensen mentioned, the networking aspect (for those who use it) makes the $150 annual dues more than worth it.Sure, you can meet local investors here on BP, but there's nothing like meeting in person and many of the local investors are not on BP (or at least are not actively making posts here).It sounds like the advice you received was wrt the TREIA general meeting.  

Jason- the simplest approach here might work best.

Of course not -- you could have purchased the raw ingredients yourself and made your own hamburger at the wholesale price, thus saving yourself that additional profit paid to the restaurant.

OR (and, now that I think of it, this might be the simplest and best solution,... just thinking as I write, lol) perhaps they would be happy to just go ahead give you mortgage secured by your current investment property (cash out refi) if you were to guarantee to use the money to pay off the credit cards.

I couldn't find any specific information about sub-leasing in Philadelphia)3) Rent directly to the tenant - seems like the simplest option at this point.I originally reached out to Steve Babiak with this question (awaiting feedback) - he seems like the PA/Philly guru when it comes to this stuff.

That said, it sounds like cash method is simplest and better suited in our case, except for inventory accrual - is this considered a hybrid accounting method, and will it likely survive an audit?

Simplest choice is a 4"x4" slider.
