Before You Buy Quicken Rental Property Manager, Read Our Software Review PART 1

The Quicken Rental Property Manager 2010 is highly popular among landlords and property managers but does it actually live up to the hype? Read on for the answer as we review Quicken Rental Property software to see if it will give you the best bang for your buck.

Is managing your tenants and rental properties taking up too much of your time? Is tracking your rental expenses and rent payments is giving you a headache? Then perhaps it's high time for you to dump trade that ugly notebook and outdated file for a solid property management software.

What Quicken Rental Property Manager Can Do for You

Once you start using it, you will realize that Quicken Property Manager is not just a plain property management software - It is actually a complete accounting solution for your personal, business and rental property needs. It allows you to manage and keep track of all your earnings, savings, spendings, investments and taxes.

For this Quicken Rental Property Manager review we will focus on how this software can help you manage your tenants and rental properties more easily and effectively.

Running and maintaining rental properties involves a lot of ongoing expenses such as repair costs, utility bills and legal fees. This program can help you stay on top of your cash flow so you will know for sure whether you are making a profit or loss every month.

A brand new feature will even remind of you of upcoming bills and whether you have enough money left to pay for them. The "Rent Center" tab in the program also allows to record information for all your tenants and whether they have paid their rents this month.

Filing taxes for rental properties something that most landlords dread and with Quicken Rental Property software you can greatly lessen the pain. It helps you keep track of the rental property tax deductions that you are entitled to so that you can slash your property taxes to the minimum. This feature alone can help most landlords hundreds of dollars.

What We Like about Quicken Rental Property Manager

Once you fire up the Quicken Rental Property software, the first thing that you will notice is the simple and clean layout of the program. There are no confusing options or cluttered icons and this makes it a pleasure to use. See it for yourself from the screenshot below:

One thing that we love about Quicken Rental Property Manager is how easy it is to use.  Everything
is worded in plain speaking English so there are no technical or accounting jargon to worry about - All you have to do is punch in the numbers and the program will do the sums for you.

To illustrate how user-friendly this program is, you can even flag an expense type as "Not Sure" if you need to double check later.
There is literally no learning curve even for a newbie. This makes it an excellent choice if you are using a property management software for the first time.

The "Rent Center" also scores high marks for being highly useful and well designed. It allows you to clearly see the status of your rental properties, tenants and rent payments all at one place. This is also helpful for comparing your different rental properties and tenants.

If any of your rental properties are vacant or a tenant is late with his rent payment, a red warning icon will appear to remind 
you to take action.
