I’m a conservative investor (raised in Eastern Oregon cattle/logging country) and something in my bones (not Dave Ramsey) tells me to pay off my properties, which I do in sync with investing in businesses and the stock market; all of which follows the prudence of diversification.

Grow a back bone.  

By comparison, Quickbooks is a PEASLY $300 and will take you, at most, a few hours to learn... or a few hundred bones to have professionally set up so you can run it with minimal effort.I would wager that most people will save in time and frustration what they will spend in money to start off with Quickbooks from the get go, rather than trying to "Make do" with a spreadsheet (or a dozen spreadsheets.)Finally, when your business grows, you won't have to redo your entire accounting system from spreadsheets to Quickbooks.Note: I don't work for Quickbooks, I don't get anything from Quickbooks.

Anyways, I would probably look for a deal with a little more meat on the bone, so to speak.

If you are bare bones garbage spec 1000 SF box with lowest finishes possible, 100.00 is possible. 

There's more than enough meat on the bone for us all to do well, and think JV'ing on deals is a great idea as well.  

Any here in KS let me know ;) Once I close the deal I'll give ya a bone or two, 8 if your real lucky!
