Harry did not see the 18 year market cycle 10 years ago which is documented by his chart/graphs in his book, "The Next Great Bubble Boom" written in 2006.

If you have "paint" setup in your Chart of Accounts, all you have to do is look at your Chart of Accounts under "paint" and click on Paints and then choose Quick Report. 

Chart your course and follow your path.

A simple 5 gallon bucket to transfer will give you close enough amount for a craigslist deal, doesn't have to be precise to the tenth of a gallon.

This has the added benefit for your tenants of: 1) not having to remember when to mail in a rent check, and 2) they know precisely when their checking accounts will be debited, so there are fewer worries with tenants living hand to mouth.Great point!

Obviously, the larger the circle the less precise the data. 

So I was assuming (shouldn’t assume I know) targeting with mailers would be more precise since if I would target my fb ads I may miss home owners as they don’t live permanently in the area.

But, there are still those one-off properties that are great deals that are sold within one week of it being listed due to the seller's expectations of the market being set precisely. 

The chart on the IRS website says something different.

Help along the way and insight from others is always good, but having a rough plan charted out at first I think is very useful to keep you on track.
