New owner, bookkeeping question!

[Joe Derobertis]

Hi All,

I've recently acquired a few properties and have started using Stessa (since I get it for free with a BP Pro membership) for bookkeeping.   All of my properties are being managed by a property manager and it seems that I will get my owner draw one month AFTER the rent is paid.  So for example, for September I won't see that money until early October.  That in and of itself isn't an issue, I'm more asking how should I record that?  Ideally I want the money collected to be accounted in the month I'm paying the mortgage so I can get a better sense of my monthly cashflow month over month, but that means I will need to record the draw I receive in October in September so things all line up nicely.

Anyone have any thoughts on that?
