I use Quickbooks Pro 08 for my accounting, can it be modified to help manage our rental properties?
Yes. You don’t want to combine the two, however. For example let’s say you do other people’s taxes for a living. So…you setup QuickBooks for your Accounting Firm and you chose “Accounting” from the Industry Section of the Easy Step Interview. But you also have rentals. So you setup a new company called Such and Such a Name Rental Company and yYou choose Rentals from the Industry section of the Easy Step Interview just as you did when you setup your accounting firm. You can have as many companies as you want in QuickBooks (well almost) and as many different Chart of Accounts as your company merits. The world is yours! It’s great that you are expanding out and see that there is not just a market for one thing at a time. No need to buy another software program. You’ve got a nice little package already!
