We are currently using a custom-built system to track receipts and expenses by property, but are considering switching to Quickbooks to have a more comprehensive view of the entire business - things that are not related to a specific property, such a payroll, rent, etc. and be able to keep track of money that frequently gets moved around between different accounts/entities.I've been reading about how everyone uses Classes in Quickbooks to track P&L by property, storing property purchase and associated expenses as a "work in progress" (WIP) current asset and then changing those to COGS when the property is sold.

There are some threads here on BP with information on a few of the providers who frequently contribute here.
