Quote from @Dominique Pradel-Lewis:
Do you have:
- Multiple EIN - with one property in each EIN, then use Simple Start for each EIN
- Multiple EIN - with multiple properties in each EIN, then upgrade to QuickBooks Plus, where you can track your Profit Loss and Balance Sheet by Property
- One EIN: with Multiple properties, then upgrade to QuickBooks Plus, where you can track your Profit Loss and Balance Sheet by Property
@Gita Faust great info. If I want desktop should I do pro plus or premier plus? And how many properties can I have. I tried to speak to customer service all they want to do is sell me the online stuff.
I have no few years of experience with QB. I DO NOT recommend the online version. It is limited in its ability to do multiple classes etc. But the main drawback is that it's all in the Cloud. Not easy to backup your files to your PC. A better route is to use the Desktop version hosted by a company such as RightNetworks. You can back up the program to your PC, and still have remote access. I well remember Hurricane Sandy here in the Metro NY area. Very scary when all of your files are in the Cloud and you lose power and the internet for days at a time. Terrifying. Int**t likes the the Online version because it's monthly revenue for them.
And lastly, Int**t is simply very poor with giving you a live person to help you. Someone who speaks clearly. And without going through a lot menus and handoffs. If there were a replacement I would jump. But they have the field to them selves.
And there is nothing wrong with a spreadsheet. Go through the bank statements and pick out the expenses applicable to your property and log them. KISS
