There is much, much more, like the following example (by the way, my wife (from Vancouver) and I got lost in Banff back country hiking for a few days, it was awesome): And yes look at the link, it works in P.G.3 Ways to Wealth in Real Estate – Fix & Flip, Buy & Hold, Turnkey (Cash flow) – Here’s Howhttps://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/311/topics/780022-3-ways-to-wealth-in-real-estate-cashflow-flip-hold-here-s-how

I’m open to anything and have begun reading and gathering information and knowledge on the topic.

Lots of different topics and a very friendly group.DFW Mid Cities REIA - https://dfwmidcitiesreia.com/- meets each month and is completely free.

But, because it is not catered directly to RE, there is more in there than you may need, and/or the user interface may not be as streamlined.You can find many many how-to's to optimize QB for rental properties, like this thread https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/52/topics/590160-how-to-setup-quickbooks-for-personal-rental-portfolio

BiggerPockets has a book on this topic titled “The Book on Estimating Rehab Costs”:https://www.biggerpockets.com/store/estimating-rehab-costs-ultimate
