Great video. Thanks for the information you have given. If I may ask. How can one set up their Chart of Accounts for Wholesaling and Flipping properties? Your help in this matter is greatly appreciated.

As a Realtor, how would I input some expenses for a certain property? And split my commissions and royalties from that property?

Helpful information. Question. When setting up the mortgage COA, what about the interest on the mortgage? Shouldn't that be a separate account (i.e., principal and interest)? Thanks.

[@STRATAFOLIO]

Hi Denise - Yes, you are correct. Principal and Interest should be separate accounts. Each month as you pay your mortgage, a portion will go towards the principal and a portion will go towards interest. Thanks for stopping by! - Jeri

The links to the COA file don't work. Is your site down?

[@STRATAFOLIO]

Thank you, Amit, for bringing this up. I cannot recreate the issue. Here is the link to the blog stratafolio.com/chart-of-accounts-real-estate-company-quickbooks-online/ The link to the file is at the bottom of the blog. Please let me know if you are still having issues accessing this. Jeri
