Multiple Divisions under Company?

I've previously used QB from years ago, and just installed Desktop Premier. While my situation has changed a bit from what I originally obtained this version for, its now more basic but I'm not sure how to setup this situation...

 

Basically I want the "Company" to be my overall entity, but the "Divisions" would be

     Personal (Income, Credit Cards, Bank Accounts, 401k, bill pay, mortgage (standard home accounts) tracking all expenses for budget planning)

     Rentail Prop 1 - While this is currenlty a Rental property, I'm in the process of selling it.

     Rental Prop 2 - While this is currently a Rental prooperty, I"m in the process of selling it.

     Collectibles and Auto Parts - I have some items that I will be selling as I downsize, so I'd like to track those for basis and sales to calc gain / loss as I go.

 

Any suggestions on the approach to set these "divisions" up so I can begin importing the transactions and values? Sooner the better.

 

Thanks for any adivice (I know the older version I could do this - but it's been a while and I have no idea what approach to take.

  2. Choose Customer Care.
  3. Select New Customer & Job drop-down.
