What are some good resources to learn how to use this software? I graduated last year with my Associates in Business and am going to pursue a career in accounting. I am trying to get a head start on things by using my house as a business. Myself and my roommates make up my account receivable, and my "accounts payable" are all of my bills.

I maintain a savings in the same account to create a buffer. Essentially I pay all of the bills up front, and my roommates pay me back. This way they don't have to worry about when they get their share of rent to me as long as its by the end of the month it all balances out. I also use this money to create payday loans for one of my roommates and I. What would be a good way to track this money? So far the best way I have found is to make it into a liability account, but I hate having it show up as a negative balance to be honest. Any ideas?
