All expensive devices should be plugged into a surge protector and not directly into the ungrounded outlets to prevent damage.Recommend installing a battery backup system on the sump pump to prevent shutdowns during power outages.Roof is towards EOL which means I am looking at high CapEx in near future (less than 5 years).

Frankly, I think if you can complete your education and research from a mobile device, you probably don't NEED BP.

It will take up every ounce of availability you have and you won't get any traction for months.

I'm hoping that becoming a bit more active on the forums might help myself gain some traction while helping out others where I can.

Hi everyone - Looking to pick your brain on what your combination of software that you use is for your real estate business, or if you could recommend any for me.Here is what I'd like to be able to do:- Import transactions from my bank to categorize- Create and view project specific budgets, and be able to see if my project is on track throughout the project as I categorize transactions- View a P&L statement at the end of the project- Ideally be able to categorize transactions from my mobile device on the goNice to have but not important:- Managing a project (deliverables, deadlines, dates, etc.)- Invoicing a client for upgrades Up until now, I've been operating from Excel, but we're growing to the point where manually entering transactions and categorizing is becoming very tedious.I tried setting up Wave, and while I'm able to live with some of the limitations it has (i.e. subaccounts), I haven't figured out how I can assign budgets to the expense accounts so that I can track progress.  

Also, I HIGHLY recommend reading the book "Traction" if you want to learn more about how to run a business. 

Would the basis going forward to the replacement property of the primary  converted to rental be the basis as it was as a primary home or FMV at the point of being placed into device as a rental or the primary home basis + any long term improvements while a rental?

I've mailed a few letters but I'm not getting any traction with it.

Curious what the BP community thinks of having smart devices like this in higher end STR or long-term rentals?  

Finding roommates can definitely be more challenging in the burbs but given your proximity to the train and that Canton is a thriving town, you would be able to gain traction.
