Hello - I'm new to Bigger Pockets, excited to get my real estate investment journey going.I own a Condo in Chicago with a friend of mine (split 50/50), which I've lived in for about 5 years.

I have 1 partner who provides up to 75% of the down payment, however, my goal has always been to live below my means, save money, and invest the saved money as a downpayment.

Does Baseline give you the option to track expenses without attaching it to a particular property?

My Ex-wife currently lives in my fathers home.

Expect them to be expensive, also.  

To make taxes easier we set up a business checking account and had all the rent paid into that account and all the expenses paid out of that account.

It's simple enough to make a row for income, and another for expenses, and then subdivide those expenses, and add them up in the total expenses cell and then subtract the gross income from those total expenses to get my net.
