QuickBooks for landlords

QuickBooks-grade books — without the QuickBooks

QuickBooks wasn't built for rentals, so landlords wire it to a separate property tool and reconcile two systems every month. Rentwelly puts a real ledger under property management — one system.

The old way
Property tool (rent & leases)
export & reconcile every month
QuickBooks (the books)

Two subscriptions. Double data entry. Numbers that never quite match.

With Rentwelly
One system

Rent, leases, expenses, and a real ledger — entered once, always in sync.

One subscription. One source of truth. Books that close themselves.

Reflects common landlord workflows; QuickBooks features vary by plan and setup.

Stop double-entering into two systems

One source of truth

A rent payment or expense is entered once and flows into the ledger, the property's P&L, and your reports.

Real-estate-native reports

Per-property P&L, rent roll, A/R aging, cash flow, balance sheet, and 1099s — cash or accrual, no custom classes.

Books that stay balanced

True double-entry underneath means every report ties out. No exporting, no month-end surprises.

Tenants & owners included

Online payments, a tenant portal, and owner statements are part of the same system — not bolted on.

FAQ

QuickBooks for landlords — FAQ

Can I use QuickBooks for my rental properties?+

You can, but QuickBooks isn't built for rentals — there's no lease or tenant management, no online rent collection, and you have to bend classes and customers to track properties and units. Rentwelly keeps QuickBooks-grade double-entry books and adds the rental workflow QuickBooks lacks.

How do I track rent income and expenses by property?+

In Rentwelly every property, unit, and lease is a first-class record. Rent invoices and payments post automatically, and you can split a shared bill across properties by amount, so your per-property P&L is accurate without manual class-tagging.

Does Rentwelly replace QuickBooks for a landlord?+

For most independent landlords and small managers, yes. Rentwelly has a real general ledger with cash or accrual reporting, balance sheet, trial balance, A/R aging, owner statements, and 1099s — plus rent collection and tenant/owner portals QuickBooks doesn't offer.

Can I import my existing QuickBooks or spreadsheet data?+

Yes — you can bring core records in via CSV and start with your properties, tenants, and balances in place. We can help map your file during the free trial.

Is Rentwelly cheaper than QuickBooks plus a property tool?+

Usually. Instead of paying for QuickBooks and a separate property-management app, you get both in one plan starting at $39/mo — and you skip the monthly reconciling between two systems.
