QuickBooks for Personal Finance/STR?

[Reid Sealby]

Hello friends!

I've never used QuickBooks but just read in "Tax Strategies for the Savvy Real Estate Investor" that it can be a pretty valuable tool for bookkeeping. In the book it was really only described for use with long term rentals though/consistent cash flow. Does anyone use QuickBooks for bookkeeping with their short term rentals (i.e., inconsistent cash flow)? Can you use QuickBooks to track and manage your personal finance also? 

Thank you!
