They sold me a house that was supposed to need "minor" repairs, but instead required over $30,000 of foundation repairs, $45,000 of interior repairs and has been sitting empty for 3 months due to a termite infestation they failed to notice.

If the author had help, no doubt there were probably countless arguments over the design of the algorithm "hey you've got this all wrong where you count the number of "adult bookstores" per capita as a positive, cities with lots of them are dumps!"

So if that area was 10' x 10' that is 4,000 lbs. of design load. 

It would be a Manager managed LLC, with me being the designated manager. - Designating myself as a 1099 contractor for the business.

It can be used whether the system is designed for use by a single property or multiple locations (e.g., shared by others).

Most importantly, it is designed for QuickBooks Desktop users of all levels, and that is precisely why the beginning of the book teaches readers features with step by step instructions to record each and every transaction in QuickBooks.The content follows a sequential structure that covers multiple scenarios of closing a deal; it walks readers through recording the earnest deposit, entering a HUD, refinancing, running reports, and many more tasks that are essential to effectively implementing QuickBooks. -- As to your specific questions - check out the chapter Purchases - there is an example of the HUD and a worksheet you need to follow. 

Design varies SIGNIFICANTLY between products which is where we felt AppFolio excelled.

I can use an LLC designated as s corp for the refinance.

I would encourage you to build your team and utilize people like Garot Sutton @ corporate direct to design entities for you so you have maximum protection for whatever business practice you are engaging. 

I read a good article from Brandon Turner on this site about his preferred interior paint from Walmart.
