Andrew, Are these rental properties are all part of a single business owned by a single legal entity? If so do you really need to maintain 4 sets of books?
It is possible within Gnucash to set up an accounting structure in which the four properties would be separate with their on income,expense,asset accounts. There might be some complications around accounts payable/receivable as the business features are based around a single account of each type though. You could have under each of the top level accounts a sub-account for each property with the account substructure you currently have in multiple books/datafiles under the property subaccount in each of the top level account types. This would avoid having to open and close multiple sets of books. You could still create individual reports for each property by restricting the accounts a report includes It also simplifies your backup- only one file -- Sent from: http://gnucash.1415818.n4.nabble.com/GnuCash-User-f1415819.html _______________________________________________ gnucash-user mailing list gnucash-user@gnucash.org To update your subscription preferences or to unsubscribe: https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-user If you are using Nabble or Gmane, please see https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Mailing_Lists for more information. ----- Please remember to CC this list on all your replies.
