Whereas for me (at this stage of my investing career and my personal life) if a project is profitable and supports my ability to live somewhere with better cost of living and quality of life, the balance between the two can be just as valuable. 

I do not need to push CA RE and have little to gain which places me in a different category than many of the people who have posted on this thread including the OP who is a realtor, property manager, and sells mentoring (at what appears a reasonable price) in his Ohio markets..I simply notice that L.A. is burning because the mayor cut fire support by $17 million dollars, she wanted to cut it more.

Ugh.Looking for options to QBO:- supports classes, or some functional equivalent to QBO classes, which I use to sort be able to look at per-property P&L, capEx, etc.- CPA just wants a pdf or excel SS for P&L, BalanceSheet, GL - so could use whatever I want, in theory.- bank integration (download transactions) a must- no employees, so don't need payroll- if it'll bill that's awesome.

Read it and employ it.The only thing I'd really hammer home is understand and study the market you want to get into-- meaning visit it multiple times, know the streets, get a healthy understanding.

I think there is so much value in having a supportive network, so I'm looking to set up a monthly lunch for us to exchange ideas, tips, and encouragement.

In the last month and half, I've been working supporting a local real estate investor, which only goes to fuel my passion for getting into this business. 

I don’t have the budget to support but one lead source at a time.

I'm currently waiting for a response from customer support.

A link to FilePlace is at the bottom of every page, making it easy to find.If you have technical issues, email support@biggerpockets.com, and someone will help you.

It’s considered an act of god if a strong wind blows down a healthy tree that nobody expected to fall, but if a dead tree has been looking like it’s about to fall for awhile and the owner has been notified of the hazard it causes, then their inaction can cause them to be negligent in addressing the hazard, and they may be found to be liable.
