Testing: Ultimate Mileage Tracker and Battery Saver
3 September 2016 | 0 replies
So, i was thinking i was going to just leave MilesIQ on my phone and upgrade it to a payed plan when i realized i was kinda upset with how much it task my phone.. out of all the apps i have tested, according to android battery task manager, driving the exact same trip to test each app out.. i noticed that MilesIQ just barely, but pulls ahead in using the most battery power while its in use and when you're just walking around and not logging miles, the constant checking of the phone's sensors to detect if another ride is in progress really makes my cell phone battery drop much quicker than it does without the app installed, so i started looking into other options that were not app related and a few popped up with the most accurate and favored one being the Miles Ace, but some have stated the device died between 1-2yrs after purchase and many people complain about how hard it is to setup the wifi feature on the device and if you dont drive for week or so, the device can sometimes loose its settings or just act weird and fail to log rides.. so i dug further and found some people use the OBD2 dongles, which cuts the battery usage of many tracking apps down to a fraction, because the device is no longer checking its built in accelerometer sensors and such 24/7, now only doing it once the OBD2 dongle is detected, but still many claim that some car charges struggle to keep up on some model phones or the rate of offsetting the discharge on the phone is very slow, causing your phone to recharge at very very slow rate compared to without the app running..

Cash Flow vs. Appreciation

The tenants pay down the mortgage and upon retiring, they have a nice net egg, one in which they could live if they had to as they can not do the same in a stock certificate.All I wanted here was to have a conversation about investor's experiences on cash flow and appreciation.

LLC or trust?
4 March 2021 | 50 replies
I'm just not sure if it's beneficial to also have LLC set up in addition to the insurance.You always want to have insurance, regardless of whether you own the property in an LLC or not...In my opinion, the the least cumbersome solution is to get a good umbrella policy with at least $2 million liabililty coverage, put properties you own in your own name under that umbrella, and once you reach the max number of properties allowed under that umbrella, start using LLCs for any properties you acquire beyond that.If you plan to own a lot of properties and use entities, you'll probably need to create and manage multiple LLCs, because putting 20 properties in one LLC is essentially putting all your eggs in one basket and may defeat the purpose of what you're trying to do.
