2.0 out of 5 stars Not What It Appeared to Be, April 26, 2005

I was very anxious to solve my property management problems with QuickBooks, and was taken by the title. Unfortunately, I didn't notice in the description that this is a 99-pg. spiral bound book. And it costs over $40! It is very basic, fairly elementary, and does not give extensive information with various scenarios as one might expect from a real BOOK! Additionally, in skimming the book today, I notice that the proofreader wasn't up to the job.

This guide is OK for a beginner, but it's more a "Quick Start" guide than anything else.

Book is okay for a beginner.....If you are already doing some tracking of your property management business, this book does not offer much additional information for someone trying to futher their business - just the basics. Would like to have seen tips and hints in using the program. Little overpriced for what is received.

4.0 out of 5 stars Perfect for beginners, December 12, 2005

This gives you basic 'quick start' guide immediately! Perfect for beginners (for both quickbooks and property management). Easy to understand and you can easily get used to managing your property accounts through Quickbooks software. Not like other overwhelming computer software manuals or boring real estate account instructions.
