Not really apples to apples with a 10x magnification to me.I do measure my ROI against the S&P, though.  

The economy is very very heavy ag dependent (apples, hops, grapes, etc) w/a smattering of some smaller industries represented in the valley.

Well it is kind of like comparing apples to oranges.

If you're just wanting to categorize your expenses with the saved photos of your receipts, and you don't use TurboTax, then a free app like Stessa (for iPhone) or the TimelyBills App (for Android) might make more sense.  

Yes, but it's an apple or oranges comparison.

For example:Let's say that a barrel holds 90 good apples, and 10 bad apples.  

Dream big and if they’re not so big that you think you can never achieve them then you’re not thinking big enough. ie:1 year 50 units 14 properties paid off BMW 3 Series iPhone 16 2 week vacation to Thailand Then you plan backwards and figure out how to make it a reality.

There are a few bad apples, but that to be expected.

I think your best bet for architects is GoogleAnd for general contracts I have found some good ones on the “Thumbtack” iphone app

I'm assuming you either need major collateral, major assets at the bank, or doing millions+ in revenue (like Apple or Microsoft).
