tagging
I thought when you tagged a property it would go to the journal page of the Rental Property and include everything expenses and income but I am having to manual enter the rent received

"I thought when you tagged a property it would go to the journal page of the Rental Property and include everything expenses and income ....".
Your statement makes no sense, so I'm not surprised you are not seeing what you expected to see.
Assigning a "Property Tag" to a property in Quicken is the first step to tracking income and expenses for a specific property. But it is just the first step; by itself, it does nothing. [And I'm not sure why you mentioned "expenses", when your complaint was limited to "having to manual[ly] enter the rent received".]
Quicken assumes that you will enter the rent for a property by using the "Rent Reminder" Quicken created when you assign a Tenant to the Property. No Tenant for the Property: no Quicken created Rent Reminder.
If you use the Quicken created Rent Reminder, you do not have to "manual[ly] enter the rent received", though you do have to manually enter the Rent Reminder (a trivial process compared to manually entering a complete rent transaction). And creating your own Rent Reminder for each Tenant/Property/lease is an even better approach.
It sounds like you do not understand how the process works, but it's not clear exactly what you do, and don't, understand.
Posting the specifics of what you assume, what you have done, and what results you have gotten; might help to provide the information necessary to clear up your misunderstandings.Quicken user since Q1999. Currently using QW2017.
