• From operator to more of an “investor”?

  I've found that careful accredited investor real estate deals can consistently provide returns close to owned real estate with less hassle and with less risk. For these types of deals you can look at sites like realtymogul.com, crowdstreet.com, fundrise.com, and realcrowd.com. There are more of these and there are also sites that are developer sites that have similar offers. I use these for real estate deals. ... Source: over 1 year ago

• Alternative Investments: Crowdstreet and Masterworks.io

  Another platform I have not much experience with is crowdstreet.com, recommended by Financial Samurai. Does anyone know if this one is safe? It invests in real estate in so-called 18-hour cities in the US. Source: over 2 years ago

• Understanding IRR

  FYI, 15% is a tad low for self storage investment as a limited partner. You can find one on crowdstreet.com right now for 16%. I have no connection with Federal Storage but they're a well known and very experienced self storage operation. Source: over 2 years ago

• Property development to reach fatFIRE?

  My list is: Trion-properties.com (West coast apt buildings) Mccompanies.com (rehab large apt buildings in the southwest) Crowdstreet.com (medical buildings and new construction projects nationwide). Source: almost 3 years ago

• So... what can I do to invest, outside of 401k?

  Most 401k's have very limited investment choices - certain families of mutual funds, most being quite broad. That's fine for the slice of savings / investment that most folks are allocating to them. Investing in individual stocks can be interesting and if you have a diversified portfolio of 10 or so high quality stocks which may not be in your 401k's funds you won't have to fear one company's performance.

• I CANT FIND A BUDGET SYSTEM I CAN STICK TO...

  Another app that works pretty well is the free one called HomeBank available at: http://homebank.free.fr/ It only works on desktop or laptop computers - Windows, Mac, and Linux. Source: about 1 year ago

• Windows Software for Logging Expenses/Income

  I tried to download and try Homebank (http://homebank.free.fr/) but Microsoft Defender SmartScreen through a fit due to "unknown publisher" and in virustotal the installer was flagged by 3 vendors (Bkav Pro, Gridinsoft (no cloud),Elastic) Probably false positives as it seems to be open source, but not sure if I want to risk it.

• Gnucash – open-source accounting software for personal and small businesses

  I use HomeBank [1] because I find the UI a lot simpler than GnuCash and importing mostly just works, with pretty good automatic category assignment that lets you use regular expressions. The only quirk is that one of my accounts uses a non-standard ordering for its csv file which needs fixing before HomeBank will accept it since the import UI is limited. I also find that it is useful to track the database file... - Source: Hacker News / almost 2 years ago

• GnuCash

  I used to use HomeBank (http://homebank.free.fr), now just a LibreOffice spreadsheet. I think for personal finances, it's perfectly fine to just record monthly total expenses as a bulk sum, for each account. Unless 'something's off' (i.e. My family has spent too little or too much) it's okay to not know all the expense items. - Source: Hacker News / about 2 years ago

• Actual is going open-source

  What is a good desktop-first budgeting application? I've been using Homebank[1] for a few years now but I'm open to suggestions. [1]: http://homebank.free.fr/. - Source: Hacker News / about 2 years ago
