Congrats @Cheryl C.! Two week turn-around is very fast - must be a great deal!

Any Hubzu tips/tricks you can recommend?

Thank you very much @Jeremy Ferguson. I agree completely with you regarding the psychology, and I should have done a better job qualifying my question:

What list of keywords have people been successful with for PPC marketing (in addition to the ones mentioned above)? Are there some good keywords that are less obvious that can bring in motivated sellers?

Can anyone using PPC (pay-per-click) recommend what's worked and what has not? Examples, phrases, target market, etc. (If there's a BP thread that lists some of the commonly used phrases - that would be great too.)

Thanks so much.

Post: Bookkeeping on multiple propertys in quickbooks

@J Scott @John Blackman @Tim Schmitz and anyone else that can help. We're in the process of converting our accounting from Excel to Quickbooks (although I would consider a different mainstream accounting platform). 

Our businesses are: A) Fix-and-flip;  B) Buy-and-hold; and C) Management company (this company wholesales and manages only our properties). Each property and the management company has its own LLC/bank account.

  • Do you recommend using one or multiple Quickbooks accounts? 
  • If multiple QB accounts: Do you recommend one QB account for each LLC? Or one QB account for the different business models?
  • If multiple QB accounts: My understanding is that on the Quickbooks Desktop version you can have multiple accounts, but on the QB Online you can only have one account?
  • If one QB account would suffice for our business: Is there a limit to the number of "classes"/sub-accounts you can set-up on Quickbooks Online? 

Thanks so much in advance for all of your rec's and help. And for anyone wondering, yes I am a former CPA. :)
