You've only owned it six months, so you probably haven't dealt with vacancies, maintenance, or capex, but you should be setting money aside for those things.Your partnership agreement (if you have one) should address exit options.

Buildim has a general ledger so you can record credit card transactions the same as in any other bookkeeping software 1- add to chart of accounts a current liability called for example capital one credit card2- when you want to record a credit card transaction go to general ledger create a journal entry, for example if you swiped your card for a maintenance expense in the amount of 1,000 youshould debit maintenance 1,000 and credit your liability account called capital one credit card for 1,000so your liability account balnce is always the same amount as your credit card balance 3- if you pay intrest on your credit card add to charts of accounts an expense account called capital one intrest fees and when you got charged intrest create a journal entry debiting capital one intrest expense account and crediting your liability account 4- to record a payment to your credit card you can record a check from your bank account payable to capital one you should add them as a vendor or you can do a journal entry It simple for anyone with a little bookeeping knowledge and btw thats how its also done in quickbooks or anywhere else And thats the correct way doing it although there are a few other workaround ways for exemple creating a contra asset or as paying a vendor So i dont know why you blame buildium it would be the same with any other software

For example we pay our own income taxes, broker splits and all of our other expenses directly out of what we make including required E&O insurance, MLS dues, licensing fees, Board of Realtor dues, continuing education costs, marketing, advertising, office fees/rent, transaction coordinator/ assistant fees, health insurance, car insurance and maintenance, gas, tires, software, retirement fund, etc.We are not W2 employees with payroll taxes already taken out of our paychecks, company-paid health insurance and matching retirement account plus a guarantee of at least 40 hours paid work per week, sick pay, paid vacation… none of that.So if you’re thinking you’ll be able to pay an hourly wage typical of a W2 hourly employee like $50-85/hr… that’s definitely not going to work.

They are usually looking at C or D properties that local agents tell them will “cash flow“ They usually don’t cash flow because of high maintenance and vacancy.

@Tove Fox hope you find this copy & paste useful:)-------------------------------------------------------------------------------Recommend you first figure out the property Class you want to invest in, THEN figure out the corresponding location to invest in.Property Class will typically dictate the Class of tenant you get, which greatly IMPACTS rental income stability and property maintenance/damage by tenants.If you apply Class A assumptions to a Class B or C purchase, your expectations won’t be met and it may be a financial disaster.If you buy/renovate a property in Class D area to Class A standards, what quality of tenant will you get?
