QuickBooks Pro – Buying Non-Performing Mortgages

QUESTION:

We are creating a investment syndication for buying and working out non-performing mortgages in an LLC entity.

Each member will require a capital account for their investment dollars and be able to receive pro-rata shares of profits, return of capital and losses (if any).

Will the Investor Books software support the bookkeeping for the syndication?

Thanks,

Joseph

Selling Real Estate When Seller MUST Bring Money to Closing

Stephen asks:

“Mike, I am selling a property for $123,000 and unfortunately I have to bring a check for $3,000+ to the closing.

I am pulling my hair out trying to enter this HUD 1 Settlement Statement into Investor Books. Please Help Me, Stephen”

 

Answer:

Great question Stephen. You are not the only one who finds this a little different and challenging.

Here are two videos to show you how to do it simple and easy.

– the first is 7 minutes

– the second is 15 minutes

Remember, it does not matter if you are buying or selling.
– If you bring money to closing, you start with a check.
– If you leave the closing with a check, you begin with a deposit.

QuickBooks Real Estate – Buying 3 Properties On One HUD 1 Settlement

Question from Kyle:

Hi Mike,

 
Love the software still and have a unique question.
 
I just purchased 3 properties from the same seller and we did it all on one HUD. I know I need to enter the HUD exactly as I received it, but the question is I need to separate the properties because we are going to be selling them separately and splitting the profit on each one.
 
Should I just enter the HUD as it is, then make separate accounts for each properties so they show up separately for when we sell them and have to enter a selling HUD?
 
Obviously the HUD we used to purchase the 3 properties will have a big balance on it even after we sell 1 property. It seems it may be tricky to balance this all out.
 
Hope I confused you with this. Thanks.
 
 
Kind Regards,
 

Kyle J. Weimer

Answer from Mike Butler:

QuickBooks Question on Installment Sales and Statements

Hi Mike,

Hope you had a nice Christmas.

Two quick questions.

1) Loans – Land Contract. (Contract for Deed)

Which accounts are used?

I created a new item (Loan Payment under Other Charge) and (Account   Uncategorized Income)  or  do I just use Rent like we do for tenants.

2) Statements Email & Print

Most of my tenants have a email, but several do not. 

When I try to email all statements it will not allow me to go forward without having all of them with a email.

If you have to do it separately what is your procedure?

I sure want to save the postage.

QuickBooks For Real Estate Question on HUD 1 Closing Statement

Question from Stephen:   (mike’s reply in blue)

Hi Mike, I am putting together some cheat sheets to use when entering HUD1’s. I would like to forward them to you when finished for your opinion.
Sure

One thing I finally grasped is that you don’t enter a hud1 the same way, it depends on whether you are bringing a check to settlement or taking money home from settlement.
BINGO!!

 If you are bringing a check the the mortgage is a negative, but if you are bringing home money the mortgage is a positive. And all other items are reversed whether it’s a check or a deposit. Is that correct?

i am clueless on negative and positive, however, Please think about what you will be doing as an investor, let’s keep it “brain-dead simple” makes it harder to screw up….

it does NOT matter if you are buying, selling, or trading…
