Hi Nick, The Location concept caught my eye because I also have a C-Corp that does property management for these LLC's as well as flipping properties, and it has a separate QBO subscription. I think someone else in the thread (KeriCoxKan) had a similar situation and from your reply, it doesn't sound like it really makes sense to combine them into one subscription using Locations, but can you confirm that I understood that correctly? BTW, your content is amazing - thank you!

Hi Rebecca....thanks so much for watching and for the question! Actually!! I would combine my flipping company and my rental properties into one account. In fact...this is what I actually do. The main reason this makes sense is that both business have the same relationship (or lack thereof) with "Customers". In addition, it is common to start a project with one strategy...an then change course (e..g you think a project will be a flip...but you change to a rental). The other comment referred to a prop mgmt business. This brings in a whole new complication of managing statements, customers (owners) etc. Of course its all a case by case basis. One awesome thing is that we dive into these exact questions and specific case studies as part of our end to end training: Real Estate Accounting Bootcamp. We would love to have you! bit.ly/4bKYz0i

Hi Nick, I am working as a bookkeeper for my client and I need to Do accounting for his real estate, he is having rental and Flip together under one LLC. I am a bit confused about the Chart of Accounts. Can you tell me, what should I do?

Hey! Thanks so much for reaching out! Flips and rentals in one business is no big deal (I do this personally). I would just have a bit of a separate "section" of my COGS for my rentals versus Flips. For rentals, you would pretty much follow COGS like IRS Form 8825. For flips, you would have a bit simpler COGS: 1. Purchase Price 2. Buying Costs 3. Holding Cots 4. Rehab Costs 5. Selling Costs.

Hi Nick, you have to assign the business to every transaction but some of my transactions are bank transfers and quickbooks doesn’t let me assign a business to transfer transactions. What can I do here?
@Incomedigs
5 күн бұрын
Hi! Yes...you are correct! The solution is to not use "Transfer". You can accomplish exactly what you get with a transfer simply by "Categorizing". Lets say you had a transfer from Bank A to Bank B. on Bank A's bank feed...you would typically record as a transfer to Bank B. Instead, click "Categorize"...then simply indicate the category as "Bank B"...and be sure to add the business!

On your balance sheet how do you add the location (business) for your checking accounts? I saw you had some checking account popup in an unspecified column and I have that as well. Each business has their own checking account but an outsider reading the balance sheet may not know certain checking accounts go to certain businesses. Great video as always.

Hi! Every single transaction should have a Location attached. If so, you will be good. As long as every transaction has a Location, you should not have anything show up in "not specified". For this reason, we cannot use "transfers" or "Credit Card Payments". These transactions don't have the Location field.

Hi Nick, New subscriber. I wish I saw this video about a week ago. Both business are funded by SDIRA's one is Roth and the other is traditional. I currently have two individual subscriptions and I was wondering if I would be able to change and convert into the subscription that enables me to manage multiple businesses? Especially since I've just started my journey. Both LLC's have different EIN's. Thanks

Hi!! Thanks for watching! I have done exactly what you are saying. I personally took a bit of a "manual" approach. That is, I kept one set of books as is...and then added transactions/ journals from the other set of books. I would recommend taking the set of books that has the most volume and using that as your "baseline". Then bring the other set of books into that. I qualified bookkeeper would certainly help you get this done! I have curated an amazing community of bookkeepers specializing in RE Investing! Check it out: bkmk.incomedigs.com/

How do you download bank statements and reconcile with different companies on one subscription QB account
@Incomedigs

Hi! You would still have separate bank statements for each entity. You would create each bank account as separate account in your COA. You can then link each bank account as you typically would with just one business in the subscription. We go into great detail on this in our end to end course! bit.ly/3R1UkFW

Looking at comments, Do Journal entries have the ability to add Location and Class? Also I was wondering if each Location/Business, LLC has its own checking account and I assume each LLC is set up as a subaccount under the master "Checking Account"; and each Business/LLC has its own credit card attached to that business checking account, couldn't the credit card have its own subaccount or simply listed as a LOC as a liability with each credit card having its own subaccount? Each purchase has to be allocated to a specific COGS or Business expense anyway ....
@Incomedigs
3 ай бұрын
Yes! Journal entries can have both location and class. If each business has its own accounts...this certainly makes things easier. You can create rules for transactions going into/ out of these accounts such that they are auto-assigned to the correct business. I still think you need location tracking though. To draw up a balance sheet "by business", you would need to allocate a business to transactions beyond just checking account/ credit card transactions. We discuss this in great detail in our end to end course...definitely worth checking out! www.incomedigs.com/reab

Hi Nick, I get doing this for multiple rentals owned by the same company. However, if an owner has multiple rentals and owns a property management company that will collect the rent etc. for those same rentals, would you put that property management company in another QBO file?
@Incomedigs
3 ай бұрын
Hi! Thanks for the question...and a really good one! You would not necessarily combine ALL legal entities into 1 QBO subscription. It really comes down to: What does each business do? Are they similar....do they share the same COA etc. In my experience working w/ investors and bookkeepers, a Prop Mgmt business (especially managing third party properties) is fundamentally different than a Holding company. Because of the third party interaction with outside customers, it probably makes sense to separate these out. This is a common topic of discussion in our REAB Community (accessible for free with REAB3.0). Definitely check it out www.incomedigs.com/rehab-estimator

I wonder if using a system like Hospitable, Hostaway , Buildium for managing customer contact, payments etc, refunds would be better to use for Prop. Mgt ... as they provide nett profit/income to "you" and you cold scan monthly reports and simply attach those to QBO rather than use another QB (that I find so unINTUITive) @@Incomedigs
