QuickBooks For Real Estate – Repairs vs. Capitalized

QUESTION:

Hello Mike,

I understand your reply of repair versus capital expense so my question must not have been clear…

When I buy a house to resell that will need some repairs, these repairs are a capital expense as the property is not in “service”.

To properly see my cash flow in Investor Books PRO when I do a report, I put these fix up costs as an expense (initially).   I do this under “repairs and maintenance”

The fix ups will eventually be transferred and re-characterized as a capital expense at a later date thus in the meantime allowing my cash flow report to provide useful information for me as an investor.

My question is when do I transfer this to the asset?

Thank you Mike,

Hope that is more clearer-er

Steve

How To Refinance A Hard Money Loan in QuickBooks Pro

QUESTION:

Hi Mike,

I have a question regarding entering the HUD info into QuickBooks for a newly purchased property. I’ve watched your videos on the subject and they were extremely helpful-Thank you, but i can’t seem to figure out the answer to the following question.

What do you do with the expenses relating to the purchase of the property that happen outside of the HUD.  For example… The inspection costs, the Hard Money appraisal that I paid for, and even a foundation repair that was paid for outside of the Hard Money loan Holdback but happened during the rehabbing of the property. It seems these are technically part of the cost of the Asset and should be applied to the real estate asset account.

Should those be entered as part of the asset account or should they be applied to other accounts such as a repair account?

Also, I would love to see you do a video showing the process of going from a Hard Money loan to Refinancing out of that loan and what that process would be like. This is essential what I’m trying to figure out with my questions above.

Thank you Mike,

Bryan T.
