Most likely you have already heard about QuickBooks or have seen it advertised on television or in magazines. It is the most popular accounting software in the world designed for small businesses.

Yes, it is a fantastic, very powerful, program and yet it can be purchased for approximately $100.00. Why pay up to $2,000.00 for specialized property management software packages when QuickBooks, together with my book, works beautifully for around $150.00.!

The program has been designed to be used by many different types of businesses. The problem is in learning how to fit your business to its capabilities.

The QuickBooks manual gives you very little instructions needed for individuals who want to use the program to manage their own properties.

The solution is at hand!!

My 69 page manual has been designed exclusively for owners who manage their own rental properties.

This manual will show you how to set up QuickBooks so that you can manage a wide range of properties, including apartments, houses, commercial property, industrial property, mobile home parks, storage yards, mini-warehouses and marinas, etc.

I have been managing my own rental income properties for over 30 years. I have applied the knowledge accumulated during this time to solving the many accounting problems involved in property management

Included in the manual are the results of a major effort to apply the QuickBooks software to rental property management accounting requirements.
