If you have access to the MLS, I'm sure you may be able to parlay that access into partnering with an investor.  

I've had similar issues with brokers who make excellent agents, but when they try to parlay their success as an agent into being a broker - fail miserably.

Unless he specializes in landlord/tenant law, I'd wager that most knowledgeable landlords have a better immediate grasp of those areas of the law than he does.

I think we both know whats right for us, though due to your experience I'd wager you know a little better.

I would wager that a CPA could find more deductions and also provide peace of mind that your taxes are accurate, especially when this is new to you.Check with @Adam Hardy  , CPA at Jenson & Co in Maple Grove.

By comparison, Quickbooks is a PEASLY $300 and will take you, at most, a few hours to learn... or a few hundred bones to have professionally set up so you can run it with minimal effort.I would wager that most people will save in time and frustration what they will spend in money to start off with Quickbooks from the get go, rather than trying to "Make do" with a spreadsheet (or a dozen spreadsheets.)Finally, when your business grows, you won't have to redo your entire accounting system from spreadsheets to Quickbooks.Note: I don't work for Quickbooks, I don't get anything from Quickbooks.

People like James are betting that prices will go straight up, whereas I’m placing my wager (which I believe to be  with odds in my favor - since no fed put) that housing will drop in the short term 12-18 months.
