How do I create separate pages for different rental properties to track the financial performance of individual properties?

I'll share ways on how we can handle this, omllc1205.

 

We can use the Tags feature to track rental properties separately. This helps us track things the way we want without affecting our books. First, let's turn on this feature. Here's how:

 

  1. Go to the Gear icon and select Account and Settings.
  2. Select the Sales tab.
  3. In the Sales form content section, turn on Tags. Then select Save.
  4. Select the Expenses tab.
  5. In the Bills and Expenses section, turn on the Show Tags field on expense and purchase forms. Then select Save.
  6. Select Done.

 

Then, start creating tag groups. We can add this to a new or an existing transaction by opening an invoice or expense. Then, click the Tags field, and select one of your groups to add the tag. We can use the articles below for our guides:

 

 

Another way that we can consider is using a third-party application. If you're looking for this option, we can visit this link: QuickBooks Apps Store. From there, we can find different apps that are compatible to work with QuickBooks Online. 

 

The last option that I can share is to use QuickBooks Online Advanced. This plan is good for property management. Let's visit and read more in this article to get some ideas: QuickBooks Online Advanced for real estate property management, Part 1: Overview and setup.


Those are ways to handle different rental properties separately. We can check these articles to manage reports in QBO like, the Profit and Loss by Tag Group report to see how specific areas of your business are doing.

How do I create separate pages for different rental properties to track the financial performance of individual properties?

Hello

We are having the same problem, we have over 100 properties and have signed up to simple start not knowing it didnt include the class tracking function. If we upgraded though is there a limit on classes? Ive read 40 which would be no good with havong 100 properties so would thge Tag system work better for us?

 

Thanks

Hi, @9130354958873646.

 

I'm here to share some information about class tracking and tags in QuickBooks Online.

 

Class tracking is available in QuickBooks Online (QBO) Plus and Advanced. You can add up to 40 combined classes and locations in QBO Plus while unlimited for QBO Advanced. Here's detailed information about usage limits by subscription: Learn about usage limits in QuickBooks Online.

 

You can use a Class if you need to group income and expenses for things like job costing, budgeting, or fund accounting. While Tags track things at the transaction level. You can track things the way you want and they don't affect your books.

 

To know more about tags and classes, refer to this article: What are tags and why should I use them?

 

Here's how to upgrade your QBO account:

 

  1. Go to the Gear icon ⚙ and then Account and settings.
  2. Click the Billing & subscription tab and check payment information.
  3. In the QuickBooks Online section, select Upgrade your plan.
  4. Review the available plans and then select Choose plan.
  5. Follow the on-screen steps to upgrade your plan.

 

For more information about our pricing plans and detailed guidance on how to upgrade your subscription, refer to this article: Upgrade or downgrade your QuickBooks Online subscription.

 

QBO Advanced is the best for property management. You can enter your properties as customers and units as sub-customers. For more information on how to set up QuickBooks Online Advanced for Property Management, see this article: QuickBooks Online Advanced for real estate property management, Part 1: Overview and setup

 

Let me know if you have further questions about class tracking and managing rental property in QuickBooks. I'm always here to assist. Have a wonderful day!
