You begin to depreciate your rental property when you place it in service for the production of income.

I use Quicken and TurboTax....is learning Quickbooks fairly easy if I have those other two Intuit products under my belt?

Is this contractor overbooked and cant handle everything, did he mismanage the upfront funds and now in trouble, are you breathing down his neck every two seconds so he just doesnt want to be around the property when your around since your interfering with his crew being productive???

How do you find a lender who will provide you with the mortgage product of interest to you and not one of greater profit to them.

In my opinion, buying a new car would be a horrible decision and counter productive to your goals.

LoopNet however has a bunch more focused on the public for sales and listings.Costar product is much more expensive than LoopNet.

I personally think it looks really nice and there are ways to stain a floor without using all the expensive products.

And they make a big production about signing in bidders, issuing bidder numbers, running multiple computers and a projector, reading all the legalese in exhaustive detail, having an actual fast talking auctioneer (who everyone ignores).

You still fall under residential no matter what loan "product" you choose.2.

Anything that takes away from that is counter productive if it sucks away all my time.Given that you sound very busy Paul the properties you go for have to be well thought out in how you will run them and what they will require.Do you see yourself owning your own restaurant or getting out of food all together and just doing real estate??
