Thanks! I've been a causal user of QuickBooks for several years but your guide is an eye opener for me. Thanks for your advice! Hopefully, I can get my business going and I will come to you for professional training.

I have been using A Guide to Financial and Property Management by Gita Faust for several years. This guide (which was much more affordable than other options I considered) is so easy to use. I have been able to grow my business to a point I could not have imagined prior to using this guide. The few times that I have had “how do I?” questions, I just call or email Gita and she is able to help me with a solution. I would recommend this guide to anyone in the property management business.

- Chris Forga, Property Manager, Forga Rental Properties, Waynesville, NC


Thanks for taking the personal interest, calling to follow up and sending the file.

- Rick Wehner


Thanks for the follow up Gita. Yes, I’ve looked over the reports and they will come in handy. This was one of the reasons that I purchased your product...to save me time to create these myself...and possibly missing one that I should have.

- Chuck Rigby, Premeos, Inc., Gainesville, GA


Thanks so much for sending this quickly! I'm rather bogged down in the whole real estate end of it. I'm sure it will be a GIANT help Thanks!

Subscribers at the Intuit Community website want to thank you for the answer you provided for this topic:

Posting Income for Real Estate Firm

I found your response to my post very helpful. I was looking for "specific" answers and you have done that. I've posted other questions related to a suggested chart of accounts...but only get general answers. Thanks for a specific answer.


Thank you so much for talking to me this morning. Please feel free to use my testimonial below. If anyone would like to contact me they can do so by e-mail. Let me know if you need anything else. I bought A Guide to Financial and Property Management of Condominiums and Homeowners' Associations and Co-operative Housing: Manage Community Associations with QuickBooks and have been extremely happy with the step-by-step instructions on setting up my association in QuickBooks. The instructions were easy to follow, and I learned a few new things about QuickBooks that I can use with all of my clients. The book is well organized and specific information is easy to find. The book addresses every aspect of bookkeeping, from setting up the properties, to writing checks and paying bills, to setting up budgets. There is even a demo file to play with and a QB template file that is ready to use. When I had a question, I received a prompt response from the author who is friendly, knowledgeable and truly interested in what I thought of her product. I would recommend this book to anyone who is considering using QB for their homeowner’s association. It was well worth the money.

Thanks for your patience today describing A Landlord's Guide to Financial and Property Management in further detail. - I am off and running now. It looks like a great way to utilize my QuickBooks.

- Debbie Rathbun, MT


I just purchased the course A Landlord's Guide to Financial and Property Management software last week. I am excited to use this software to make my life better doing the accounting. Currently, I do all the accounting manually and am looking forward doing it electronically.

- Steve Stewart, SIG Holdings, Eureaka, IL


I've been working on using your system from A Property Manager's Guide to Financial Property Management for a year or so now (I think I'm a slow learner! :) I am able to use some of the basic reports, and my owners seem to understand and like the report format. I'm loving your program, for the parts I use and understand :). I only have a few properties, so I'm having time to learn and grow slowly.

- Barbara Murphy, Broker, REALTOR®, GRI, ePRO®, Tartan Properties, FL


Here is a thread from the LinkedIn group:linkedin.jpg

Check with Gita Faust as she is an expert in this area.

- Kathy Zaroczynski, E.A., Active Member at National Association of Tax Professionals

I agree with Kathy - Gita has an excellent book on the topic and is considered a leader in the area of multi-unit and property management accounting using QuickBooks on her website.

- Alison Ball, Global Influencer Programs at Intuit

I agree with Alison, Gita has an outstanding book on this subject and it is well worth the price. You will learn more than just how to set up the file.

- Tammie Nasseff, Project Development Accountant


I found online while searching for simple, user-friendly spreadsheets for booking purposes. Thank you for the files and eBook, Accounting for Real Estate Agents, it seems to be something even I can't mess up!

- Lesa Clark, Realtor, Long & Foster Real Estate, Inc., California MD


You absolutely rock! I love the A Property Manager's Guide to Financial Property Management course.

- Liz Alexendra, CPA, Arlington, TX


I came into this property management role with very little direct accounting experience but over 15 years of experience in the finance industry. While working with numbers is my territory, I never used Quickbooks before, and I was a bit worried about taking on the task of setting up the accounts for our Condo Association.

I saw Gita's guide online and even though I initially thought it was very expensive, I decided I should give it a try. It has been just over 2 months since our association switched to "self-management" and all I can say is A Guide to Financial and Property Management of Condominiums, Homeowners' Associations & Cooperative Housing is worth every penny!! It is very well put together. No matter your experience level in accounting software, you'll feel very comfortable as Gita walks you through each step of the process.

I'm sure that every hour I spent using the guide would have been 5 hours without it. Save your time (both now and later with your auditor!) and get the guide!!

Thanks for your help today Gita - and apologies for all my technical woes! As we discussed - I think you should add a little detail to the process of entering initial bank balances. It would also be very helpful to add some explanation of the "equity accounts" vs "bank accounts" -- you know, when and where to use each and why...

- Chris G Alterra, Alterra, COA, Seattle, WA


Hi Gita, I purchased your book A Property Manager's Guide to Financial Property Management last year. It has been a wealth of information to be able to do the books for my client. I had received information from other property managers, which made me think that they really didn't know what they were doing as far as inputting the financial information in QuickBooks. It was interesting to me to find out how to put the property owners as both customer and vendor, and how to record the different transactions.

Property management bookkeeping is so different from most bookkeeping that I would have been at a loss without your book. Although I have used QuickBooks for many years, I just knew when I started that I wasn't recording entries the way they needed to be and I had no idea how to give a report to the owners. Also, I would have had to write out the 1099's this year instead of printing them without the file from you for 1099's. Thank you so much for putting this book together and making it available for people like me.

Thank you again for this wonderful book and CD!

- Juanita Costopoulos, Dynamic Bookkeeping Solutions, Las Vegas, NV


Thanks! Greatly appreciate the A Landlord's Guide to Financial and Property Management and your help.

- Robert McMeans, Residential Housing Solutions, Whichita, KS


Thank you for your help over the phone this morning. Your help on my QuickBooks problem got me through my roadblock. I have also learned a great deal from A Property Manager's Guide to Financial Property Management. Thank you again! Best regards,

- Michael Murphy, Northwind Property Management, Roseville, CA


Gita! I bought your book, A Landlord's Guide to Financial and Property Management. Before I let you know what I thought of the first half, I would like to tell you that I used to manage apartment buildings for a private investor based out of West Los Angeles. He had a very simplified, less comprehensive way of running the apartment management via QuickBooks. I just want to tell you...I LOVE IT!!! Worth every cent and probably 10x that. You do a great job of breaking everything down into its component parts and not assuming the reader knows anything.

- Tom Blake, Newport Beach, CA


Jeffrey Gold, Ph.D. has participated in approximately 100 real estate transactions and has managed over 40 rental properties. When his property management was growing and becoming very difficult to handle, he purchased A Landlord's Guide to Financial and Property Management and received training and support from the author, Gita Faust. While sharing his experiences using the manual with Gita, and requesting consulting from her at times, he began to help edit the book.

- Jeffery Gold Ph. D., Holland, PA


I enjoyed your system that goes with the course, A Property Manager's Guide to Financial Property Management, thank you for developing it.

- Pauline Hillegas, Hillegas Accounting Services, Tallmadge, OH


Thanks Gita, just received the books and CDs, A Property Manager's Guide to Financial Property Management and Flip Real Estate using QuickBooks. I thought that I knew QuickBooks until I started reading your book and downloaded your CD. I am very impressed with the level of sophistication to your approach with this subject. Thanks for your help. Sincerely,

- Ivan


When I searched for a bookkeeper I needed a company that was highly knowledgeable in advising me on my Flip Real Estate Using QuickBooks transactions. I needed to partner with a company that would help me grow my business and provide the right foundation. Gita of Fast Trac was that very solution. She helped me navigate through the jungle of statements and receipts to get my books in order for my accountant. Her sunny disposition made consulting with her a breeze. Having her in my corner made all the difference and now I can continue to focus on my business.

- Pearlie Jane Lee, Pixel Investment Properties, Inc., San Francisco, CA


I love the new QuickBooks. Everything I had set up like Gita's reports in book came over great. My accounts are now in order. Thank you.

- Michelle Hudak Litzau, Realtor/Property Manager, Hudak Realty, Inc., Little River, SC


Thank you so much...your book has been so helpful and I feel I'm able to make sense of this very complex industry.

- Cathy Pedroncelli, CP Consulting, San Francisco, CA


Gita, Thank you for taking the time to talk through the alternatives - how our company can use QuickBooks. It was very helpful and I enjoyed our conversation.

- Tom H, MS


Just what I needed! I am also using your book: A Landlord's Guide... I also do flips. You have the most detailed workflow, procedure and REPORTS. I have returned all the other guides I purchased. Your QuickBooks property management and real estate courses are the best! It is worth every penny. Thanks!

Property Management Chart of Account

Question: I am setting up my property management company with QB. Does anyone have a sample chart of accounts?

Testimonial: After several tries at trying to figure out how to get property management to work with Quick Books, I surrendered and asked for help. The most useful and by far the quickest way was to contact Gita Faust via her website and purchasing her book on property management. The instructions were easy to follow and complete with all the details needed to get the job done correctly. She uses a simple chart of accounts with the majority of the accounting charged to the correct property, tenants etc. using "Classes". Call her! She is great! The cost of her book, including a sample property management company, is a great investment.


Oh My Gosh! The program Manage Associations with QuickBooks for Condos and HOAs, is absolutely wonderful!!! I love it. I can generate all sorts of reports. It's easy once you get going. The course Manage Auto Dealerships Using QuickBooks has helped us run our dealership flawlessly. Worth every penny!!! You're the best. Thank you again for your help!

- Patricia Frontino, Town & Country Storage, Truckee Tahoe Auto Sales, Truckee, CA


Thank you Gita for the Mac files for Accounting for Real Estate Agents! I will refer you!

- Jeff Ackerly, Licensed Associate Broker, Fine Homes Specialist, Prudential Serls Prime Properties, Rhinebeck,NY


I realized that I had setup these books using the ‘Landlord’ Book from another author (can’t remember the name) so I’ve changed the setup of the accounts to reflect your workflow and procedure. You have over 100 reports. I definitely like your reports a lot better than the other author’s eBook. Thanks again,

- Miriam Diaz, Certified Bookkeeper/Owner, Books by Design, Houston, TX


Gita’s Manage Properties with QuickBooks is an awesome resource. The instructions are clear and simple, but by far the best part is the “skeleton” company file you get with the book. With a data file started, chart of accounts, templates, reports and more already set up for you , you save HOURS of time. My time’s valuable and I’m so glad I bought this book.

- Monica Mitchell Muir, Muir & Associates, LLC, Fredrick, MD


Fantastic! The book is A Landlord's Guide to Financial and Property Management ... And it is an absolute gem - easy to follow. Thanks,

- Karen Flemming, Landlord, Nashville, TN


While I’ve just started with this service, the tech support has been wonderful. No complaints. I’m considering hiring Gita as my accountant.

- Paul Chase, Coldwell Banker Select, Lancaster, PA


We used another property management software for our commercial properties for about 20 years. It was never great, but it worked, mostly with work-arounds. We reached the point where we had to decide—live with what we’ve got or incur the enormous expense of moving up in their software hierarchy. Our accountants spent needless hours on the books at the end of every year, and encouraged our move to QuickBooks. But QB wasn’t geared to commercial property use. What to do? Enter Gita and A Guide to Financial and Commercial Property by Management. Having used QuickBooks before and having been in commercial property management for—well, a long time—I can appreciate the amount of work Gita’s put into this book. She walks you step by step through customizing QB for commercial property management with easy to understand instructions, screen shots and diagrams, and sample reports. And if you get stuck, she’s very accessible for leading you out of the weeds. Now everyone can be happy—owners, accountants, and of course, those of us who do this on a daily basis! Thanks, Gita.

- Shelley Putnam, Lease & Account Administrator Perron & Campbell, Inc., San Antonio, TX


I love Gita Faust's product!!! The QuickBooks templates saved me so much set up time, money and the book offers great ways to manage properties with QuickBooks. She was fast to answer my questions and help me immensely. I am happy to say that with A Property Manager's Guide to Financial and Property Management and Gita's consulting my office is now DRE compliant. I am more accurate and productive with my new accounting system and Gita's book is a must-have if you are using QuickBooks to manage your properties.
 
- Julia Burke, RE/MAX Gold Coast Property Management

"I was struggling to set up the most basic tasks. The manual that came with QuickBooks was good for one thing: showing me how hard it would be to do it right, and how easy it would be to do it wrong. When Gita came along, my learning curve sped up 300%, and I haven't looked back."
 
- Marv, property owner-manager

"Our company manages apartments -- over 500 garden units -- and growing fast. We wanted to stick with QuickBooks because of its ease of use. I went through thousands of dollars and many hours of wasted time with so-called QuickBooks experts. Gita is the only true property management QuickBooks expert I have met. She knows her stuff, and I would highly recommend her."
 
- Adam Seelig, CEO, Eagle Rock Management, Huntingdon Station, NY

I bought Manage Community Associations with QuickBooks guide and have been extremely happy with the step-by-step instructions on setting up my association in QuickBooks. The instructions were easy to follow, and I learned a few new things about QuickBooks that I can use with all of my clients.
 
The book is well organized and specific information is easy to find. The book addresses every aspect of bookkeeping, from setting up the properties, to writing checks and paying bills, to setting up budgets. There is even a demo file to play with and a QuickBooks template file that is ready to use.
 
When I had a question, I received a prompt response from the author who is friendly, knowledgeable and truly interested in what I thought of her product. I would recommend this book to anyone who is considering using QuickBooks for their homeowner’s association. It was well worth the money.
 
The Expert Publishers book includes step by step details for configuring QuickBooks, managing association data, and reporting. HOA setups in QuickBooks are not intuitive. When done poorly, the system falls apart quickly.
 
Gita Faust, author of the Expert Publisher book includes an hour of consultation with the title. Buy the book, begin the setup and document your questions. When you have a good list of questions, contact the author. The hour with the Gita Faust author will cover the cost of the book.
 
 - Paul Carlson, CPA, MBA, Advanced QuickBooks Certified ProAdvisor, AZ

Gita's knowledge with regard to the usage of QuickBooks in a property management environment has been instrumental in enabling us to properly set-up our QuickBooks file, our daily processes, and monthly reporting. Without her involvement, we would have struggled mightily, and ultimately never fully implemented the system correctly. If you need support or training with the property usage of QuickBooks in a commercial property management environment, make sure you speak with Gita first.
 
- Peter Cullen CPA, Core Performance Consulting, Certified QuickBooks ProAdvisor, Newport Beach, CA

Gita Faust has extensive knowledge and experience with rental and real estate using QuickBooks. She is a member of the Sleeter Group as well. She has written several books on using QuickBooks with real estate showcasing her experience. You do not have to involve another software or integrated software – just use QuickBooks to Manage Properties with QuickBooks – a one-stop shop for property management.
 
- A QuickBooks Consultant

I agree, Gita is the real estate with Property Management QuickBooks guru, because she's has captured all aspects of property management (e.g. financial, general, tenant management, owner reports) and explain the processes.
 
- A QuickBooks Consultant

“Thank you so much for your book. I was able yesterday to recapture all my transactions since June and get my accounting done. Your methods are very simple and logical. Yay!
 
- Julie Fugate, Keller Williams Realty SW Portland, OR

I am still working on learning QuickBooks and will always remember your excellent service when I was in a pickle a couple of months ago. Hope you are well and staying cool.

- Gina Maloney, GRI Principal Broker, Maloney Real Estate Services, Inc., Portland, OR

I just wanted to express my sincere thanks for creating the Manage Properties with QuickBooks manual and for all your help with my taxes. I love how easy the manual is to follow as it has helped me tremendously in keeping track of my properties and tenants. It really makes the management of my properties very easy! Your patience and professionalism as an accountant and QuickBooks advisor are wonderful. I’m glad I found you and your manual and look forward to working with you for years to come.

- Mike Whaley, Cedar Properties LLC, Greensboro, NC

Being in the Real Estate business, there are always variables to the business.  That said, it helps to have someone who knows what you need before you articulate it.  We were lucky enough to find Gita Faust through a real estate group to handle our bookkeeping functions.  She was able to shift thorough our various businesses and make QuickBooks work for us. 

Not only did she help us stream line our property management functions but she gave us valuable advice on how to handle all of our various rental properties, sales, re-finances, properties as well as showing us how to class all our expenses for our year end reports.  She introduced us to Manage Properties with QuickBooks, which we frequently utilize in the office as a trusted resource.

- Angela Jenkins, Shore Thing Remodeling

I am so HAPPY I finally called Gita Faust. She quickly corrected my stumbling blocks that where due to new operator bookkeeper error. I am enjoying how quick and efficient her book for QuickBooks property management program is when it is dialed in. THANK YOU GITA!!!!

- Chris Rupp

I used to be overwhelmed by three family-owned properties. Now, I’m looking for ways to expand and upgrade our holdings. Instead of running to the accountant, I’m running my own reports. Keeping track of improvements and rental histories means I’ll get more money when I sell properties.

- Joe G., property owner-manager

Gita is very knowledgeable of QuickBooks Financial Software. Our company has used her service on more than one occasion with total satisfaction.

- Neil Sullivan, Real Estate Agent and property owner, Collegeville, PA

I am currently managing the accounting for a large real estate broker who sells hundreds of properties a year. I am also learning the property management side of the business with Gita's help. All of the reports and items were already set up in the file. I also like the step-by-step instructions in the book. I own a small bookkeeping business. One of my clients asked me to start handling the accounting for his property management company. I was completely lost when I started setting up his property management company in QuickBooks. I researched the best way to set-up property management in QuickBooks and came across Gita Faust's book, A Property Manager's Guide to Financial and Property Management. What a lifesaver! This book is well written with step by step procedures illustrated in the book for all of the different aspects needed for property management. Now, I have all the information I need to effectively manage the accounting for the property management company. It also saved me so much time when I set the file up, because there are so many memorized reports that I would never have been able to set up on my own.

Truly a wonderful book! I highly recommend it to anyone wanting to track the accounting for properties in QuickBooks. Thanks so much, Gita!

- Diana White, Expert Bookkeeping & Tax Service, LLC, Milford, MI

I did get the book, and it has been very helpful. A one-hour free consultation was just what we needed - I received the answers to some issues that I was unable to previously resolve and saved over $2000.00 on a proposal

- Bobbie Housand, Emerald Dunes Real Estate, Niceville, FL

Cain Publications has offered several different property management software packages for sale over the years, but I was never happy with any of them until now. We have been pleased to offer for sale "Manage Properties with QuickBooks" because of its ease of use, it stability and the customer friendliness of Fast Trac and Gita Faust.

While other property management software often did not meet the expectations of the people who bought it, we receive almost no complaints about "Manage Properties with QuickBooks." It does everything it promises and more. Plus it takes advantage of the stability of Intuit's reputation for software that runs on any computer.

- Robert L. Cain, Publisher, Cain Publications, Inc.

I am really finding the program very user friendly. My son Josh (18) taught himself the program and is logging the rent receipts and has walked me through the work order system and I am quite proficient now. He has even figured out how to re-design the reports to include the items that we need. Thank you for your patience with our questions when we get stuck.

- Patti Kopp, University Place, Bob Jones University

'System' that sums up in a nut shell, what Gita Faust's course; manual and training help me create for my system. Before the course, like most small business owners I found myself doing all the backend book-keeping; accounting; reconciliation; data entry etc. With her course, I was able to standardize the steps of buying a property; steps when new property is rented; when tenant leaves etc. As my real estate business grew from 5 units to 25 units, I was also able to have my assistant take on most of these tasks; thereby freeing up time to do the more profitable parts of the business like networking with other investors; looking for better deals; negotiating with sellers etc.

Thank you, Gita!

- Aakanksha Dhelia, President, Cyntellex Properties

I finished entering all my data last night with a couple little touchups this morning.  Once I figured out what I was doing and got comfortable with it, it went well. 

I learned more from you in a little over one hour of consulting time than I learned in the QuickBooks class I took at the college a couple of years ago—much more.  That class was about 10 hours for QuickBooks Fundamentals and 10 hours for QuickBooks Intermediate.  Thanks for writing this book and sharing your knowledge.

- Paula Schmidt, Property Owner

I am so glad I came across Gita's website!  Gita is very friendly and accommodating and her manual is worth every penny. We have a small property management company and we've been using outdated software, which was beginning to be more trouble than it was worth.   I wanted to switch to QuickBooks, but was afraid I couldn't do it by myself. With Gita's help, my job has become much easier. Thanks Gita! 

- Angie Young, OMS. Inc., Tuscaloosa, Alabama

I just received your Manage Properties with QuickBooks guide last week and it is just what we were looking to accomplish. Being able to merge 150 units 8 properties with Gita Faust’s property management system and QuickBooks software is like adding a JET ENGINE to a lawn mower.

- Richard Withrow, AR

We are all excited about switching to QuickBooks! Your manual is well written and easy to follow... thanks for saving us hours and hours of trying to do this on our own!

Everyone knows how to use QuickBooks but this Manual is the guide to make it easy to manage your rental properties. It takes you through step by step and tells you everything you need to know in simple terms, pictures, and diagrams.

I highly recommend you get and read this easy to follow Manual.

- Bill Barret, Bill Barret Seminars
www.BillBarrett.com

I recently purchased the Managing Properties with QuickBooks Manual and CD from Gita Faust. The Manual is straight forward and easy to understand – after a once through reading and carefully following the directions, I had the basics of the system down. I had a few questions and Gita was just a phone call away to help me resolve everything. My business is located in Brazil and it had some more advanced questions that went beyond simple property management issues and again, with a simple consulting session on the phone of less than hour, Gita was able to help me set up QuickBooks in a way that works for my unique situation. I wholeheartedly recommend her book and services.

- Todd Smitala, Paradise Properties

When I started to learn QuickBooks I was a little intimidated because I never used the program and I was new to real estate. I asked my employer if there is someone who can teach me the program so I can be more efficient at my job performance. He agreed that I should learn the proper way and suggested a course at a local college. My employer checked into availabilities and there were not any classes available. He suggested Gita Faust.

Gita and I started working on QuickBooks and at first I was nervous because it was all foreign to me. Gita helped me to become more comfortable with the application. She explained in detail how to enter the information with great efficiency. Any time that I had a problem I called Gita and she helped me to understand what I was doing wrong and explained how to correct my mistakes. After a few sessions with Gita I was able to perform the functions taught with great ease. I still have more to learn but I am confident that Gita will provide me with excellent skills to perform my duties.

Thanks for your help!

- Roxanne Ryan

When my business grew rapidly, I found myself buried in paperwork & unable to adequately keep track of my REO expenses & reimbursements. Gita was able to help customize my QuickBooks application to work with my REO management workflow. This has greatly increased my efficiency & has allowed me to merge my systems into 1 efficient tracking system. This has greatly reduced my time, expense, & energy spent on the accounting & reimbursement tracking, while allowing me to have better reporting & a better understanding of my financial position with each client. I highly recommend Gita for any REO Listing Agent.

- Sierra Nobles, Chapman Hall Realtors

I want to express my gratitude for your wonderful support with Property Management with QuickBooks and my questions. First, I was completely impressed that you returned my call the same day - even though it was after 5pm!  Your ability to think through and answer my questions while also preparing dinner was very appreciated. You are amazing!

- Lynda Rigoulot, Prudential ACS Real Estate, Valdosta, GA

We just purchased A Property Manager's Guide to Financial and Property Management by Gita Faust. This book is very clear, logical and easy to use. It leads you step-by-step through the process of setting up and using QuickBooks for property management, without third-party software. Gita is extremely knowledgeable in this field, and I highly recommend her.

- Scot D. Escaravage, Statewide Managment, Inc.

The Expert Publishers book includes step by step details for configuring QuickBooks, managing association data, and reporting. HOA setups in QuickBooks are not intuitive. When done poorly, the system falls apart quickly.

A Guide to Financial and Commercial Property Management by Gita Faust is an excellent resource for commercial property owners and management companies.

I found out about Gita and her book when researching accounting software for a new client. At that time I was trying to decide between different programs. After hearing from a couple of sources that Gita was the authority on property management in QuickBooks, I decided to try it out.

What Gita has done is to extensively customize QuickBooks specifically for this industry, putting its powerful customizable features fully to use.

Along with the book, she also provides a sample company template in QuickBooks for reference to get you up and running right away, as well as ongoing telephone and email support for one year.

As an accountant, I see how much work went into this book, and really appreciate Gita’s expertise in this field.

- Matthew W. Toenjes, Matthew's Accounting Services LLC

I have read your A Guide to Financial and Property Management of Condominium and Homeowners' Associations & Cooperative Housing and I am very satisfied with it. As a Certified QuickBooks ProAdvisor, I was originally skeptical about buying this book thinking I wouldn’t be able to learn any new information from it. However, Gita’s guide gave me the exact tools and infrastructure I was looking for to adapt QuickBooks for condominiums. I truly appreciate and value the content of this manual.

Thank you for writing this manual.

- Julio Benitez, Benitez Accounting Services

I picked up a client last fall and used Gita Faust's Guide to Financial and Property Management. She has created reports and set up a QuickBooks shell file that will allow you to track properties/units and tenant information. I have been very happy with it. The cost is around $300 but well worth the money. Gita is great to work with and answer any questions.
