You can do a trial and see if bank feeds connect, if it does, I would then recommend using it over QBO.One of my client that just started in development is short on funds so Xero was the only best option and they are using a local bank so we couldn't connect and a lot of manual entries. 

If you had not team in those areas and could not have reasonably developed one, then you missed thing.You say you’ve done well in Chicago.

If you develop a great relationship with local credit unions, you'll be surprised by what all they're capable of.   

Quote from @Clint Miller: Anyone here in the community used construction loans to scale their development projects?

If the number are close[100k or less], do preemptive due diligence [water, sewer, stormwater, planning and zoning] if the property is considered for a new build development situation.

I always suspected that to achieve anything of great notoriety in Architecture one needed to have access to wealthy friends or develop projects oneself.

The city's economic development initiatives have been attracting businesses and professionals, creating opportunities for real estate investment.

Funny enough, after making a few calls to my network in Scottsdale, plus tapping into a couple of connections I’d developed through some late-night investor meetups, we found a buyer quicker than he could polish off his morning espresso.

That neighborhood is buzzing with potential-young professionals, trendy developments, and a rental market that’s always in demand.

I assume pros are little maintenance, no cap ex for maybe at least a decade, and possible favorable loan terms from developers.
