otherwise it has no teeth:  USELESS!!!

Bonds? 

I decided to invest with them to diversify my portfolio and treat these houses like a bond because the monthly cash flow is constant without any headaches.Now saying that, if you are fine "hitting singles and doubles" I'd go with them.

Then you can sort all you transaction by category, sub category, tag etc.At any stage you can export the entire file of transactions or sort and then export the list in a "CSV" file for Excel (or Lotus 123 if still using)  It has a nice set of graphics for Assets, Expenses, Net Worth, Income with several time period filters and comparisons (I have not used it long enough to have comparisons yet).Mint handles Stocks and Bonds and gives you a quick look at your top 3 performers and Losers when you sign in.  

As easy as this sounds, it's not simple and usually like pulling teeth.

Im just not interested in billing $40k and delivering $100m in equity in exchange for it.Im looking for a way to structure this responsibly, and be compensated fairly.Goldman isn’t taking $500k to raise $1B in bonds for a company, because that company needs goldman to do it, and its worth it for them to pay 4% fees for it.So I appreciate the thoughts, but anything where I’m not getting a piece of the cash flows, is something I have no interest in.Cheers

A "ladder" in bond parlance. 

brush your teeth.

besides these technical questions you want to knwo the whoel story are how they got to own it, etc. really create a bond with the seller

Like pulling teeth.
