Long story, but the short version is that I hit a snag with my financing and the bank really wanted to get this off their books.

Make sure their version of things matches your exPM.

And since everything is moving on-line, I'll probably go with the on-line version. 

I read the US version and I'm about to get started on the Canadian edition tonight!

@Benjamin Timmins -- I use the Quickbooks online version, since I have a Mac.

Unfortunately I am on the mobile version so it's a bit of a challenge to go back and forth to read your post.

But that's not the only version of a good deal.  

@Glen Dall Make sure you are using QuickBooks Premier or Accountant version.

Have not tried desktop version yet.

Alex,If you click that "Podcast guest on Episode 243" link at the bottom of my post, you can hear the whole sordid tale, and it does not take longer than an hour :)  Cliff notes version, I did a new construction, lost a bunch of money, worked like hell to rebuild my balance sheet, and then started buying rental property when I needed someplace to park cash that had a better return than what I was getting elsewhere.
