I've been reading, reading, reading nothing but awesomeness for the past two weeks, so I know the podcasts must be pure gold.

@Kevin Felmlee  Ideally, I'd like to get there because of the gold mine I'm sitting on, but I don't have the personal funds (or have any investors) at this point to break into the market.  

This site is a gold mine of information, you just need to dig and find what you need.

Seems like Quickbooks is the gold standard.

Chris @ MacServices: This guy is gold.

Thanks J Scott, that's gold, and definitely makes me feel better about what I'm doing.

Read blogs, post questions, and the podcasts are gold!

Here's the lowdown:Time Logs and Calendars: Keep a record of your work hours in the real property game, it'll come in handy in the unlikely event of an audit.Contracts and Invoices: Hold onto those contracts and invoices like they're gold.

Here’s why I didn’t;Not only were there concepts brought to life I would never think of, but the interaction with your peers begins your network you and that’s where the gold is!!!! 

Any cash you put in investing in stocks, bonds, mutual funds, gold, or your own business is considered investment and for that moment, you get in return the equivalent in "product", for lack of a better word, That "Product" may go up or down in value overtime but for that moment you get the exact equivalent.
