QuickBooks for Real Estate & Property Management

QuickBooks for Real Estate

Q: I have rentals properties, will this program work for me?  If so, where do I list my tenants?

A: Yes, QuickBooks can be adapted to meet your property management needs using some simple workflows and procedures. Here is a mini mini version of my guide Manage Properties with QuickBooks:

  • Create a new company file and select property management or rental for landlords Chart of Accounts
  • Create a Customer and Class (for Owner)
  • Create a Job and Subclass (for Property)
  • Create a Job (for Unit)
  • Create a Job (for Tenant/Member name)
  • Enter an invoice and memorize it
  • Receive a payment
  • Make Deposit
  • Create statements, if necessary
  • Enter and pay bills or write check
  • Reconcile all accounts
  • View your reports – Profit & Loss and Balance Sheet for accuracy

Of course there is more than what is noted, but this is the basic set-up and steps.

Select and view the appropriate Manage Properties with QuickBooks guide for your business: for Landlords, Property Managers, Commercial Property Management (NNN), and Community Associations – Condo and HOA.
