There has been a lot going on recently - tobyhanna basically just outlawed large houses, and imposed extremely strict fines and requirements on everyone.

Beyond the usual public zoning hearing meeting where neighbors get to object to any change in the proposed property use and the board follows their desires normally, it also entailed actually purchasing a nearby lot and putting a parking easement on it so as to provide the parking imposed by the condemnation process.  

In my humble opinion, It's completely unnecessary to recreate the wheel and repeat rookie mistakes.

If a seller tries to convince me that an appraisal is unnecessary, that is a big red flag.The post indicating ROI with a profit of $15K for a 17.9% ROI is silly with pending $26K expense. 

I have quickbooks but I feel there is a lot of unnecessary stuff so I wanted to know how most of you guys that are running multiple rehabs at one time, how are you collecting receipts, reconciling statements and tracking profit by project.

Doing anything else creates unnecessary complexity.

Sure, it might convince them to sign a shared-driveway agreement, but it could also stir up unnecessary animosity.
