QuickBooks Online Raises Price Again to $99 monthly and it does not work for investors

Posted on By wizard
QuickBooks Online Subscription Price $99 monthly


CAUTION: If you have already purchased QuickBooks Pro Desktop for PCs, Intuit is now forcing us to pay an annual licensing fee.

Intuit stopped selling the QuickBooks Pro Desktop for PC software. If you need to start from scratch, I highly recommend to purchase Quicken Deluxe.

Here’s a recent question received from a 20 year user of Investor Books and Tenant Tracking.

QUESTION: Hi Mike,

I took one of your RE course about 20 years ago and purchased Investor Books and Tenant Tracking.  QuickBooks has since gone to a subscription model and their latest cost is $999 per year.  That is getting excessive.  Have you migrated your system to QuickBooks online?   Just curious how you are handling things?  Just paying the exorbitant price?

Thanks, Patrick

ANSWER:  Patrick, 
Investor Books is a company file using QB Pro Desktop for PCs
Tenant Tracking is a company file using QB Pro Desktop for PCs

it's very ugly what QB did to all of us long time users.
after much research and meetings with Intuit, here's my recommendation:

For me and my business, I am staying with QB PRO Desktop for PCs and paying an annual licensing fee.
- this allows me to have as many company files as I want.
---  (Investor Books, Tenant Tracking, Education Company, TrusteeServicesUSA.com, and QuickBooksForInvestors.com)

I do NOT recommend using QB online because it will cost you a minimum of $160 per month
- Why? because online subscription allows only 1 company file per subscription.
- Investor Books would cost you $80monthly
- Tenant Tracking would cost you $80 monthly
- BUT the BIGGEST Reason, is the online versions are totally different and you can not upload your company file without having a boatload of errors that Intuit will blame it on you.

if the annual license is not up your alley, the best alternative is Quicken, the Deluxe, top of line version.

i guess if me and you owned Intuit and QB, we would like to see customers required to pay an annual licensing fee.

just curious Patrick, what version of QB Pro Desktop for PCs are you using?

My Computer Got A Virus! What About My QuickBooks Pro Files?

Posted on By Mike Butler

QUESTION:

I ordered your book/cd tenant tracking module which was a great help but I’ve recently got a virus on my computer and had to switch to my other one. I’m having a problem restoring all the old files.
 
I tried install everything but can’t seem to restore any of my old files back  to the tenant tracking module.
 
Can you help me out?

How Do I Get My QuickBooks Files Back When My Computer Crashes?

Posted on By wizard

QUESTION from Richard:


Hi Mike,

Happy New Year.  I hope you are doing better than I am at this time.  My wife’s computer crashed.  We received a new hard drive from Dell.  Now we must install all our programs and retrieve our backup data.  We thought it would be easy as we have our data backed up to an external drive and offsite with Carbonite but getting the programs reinstalled and set up properly is another matter.

Our IT support person will be installing our software tomorrow morning and we really need to get back in business at that time.  We really rely on Investor Books and Tenant Tracking and cannot afford to be without them any longer.

I have two CDs and hope they will get us back in business.  The jacket for the Investor Books CD says we need a key code and I am assuming that we probably need one for Tenant Tracking but we do not  have the original jacket. The only numbers I could locate are in the center of the CDs.  They are as follows:

                Investor Books     XXX     copyright date 2004
                Tenant Tracking   XXX     copyright date 2003

Are these the key codes?  If not what can I do?  Is someone available by phone or email for help if we run into install problems?  Is there any information you can give me that will help in the reinstall?

I know it is New Years eve and day but until this happened I did not realize how much we rely on your programs or how we survived before having them.

Thanks for your help,
Richard W.
