Used Zillow feature now initial value is missing

Question

I used the zillow feature, it did the right thing and seems have added an adjusting record for equity. Then a day later the initial value for the house disappeared and now all net property values are in the negative.

I restored a backup, and it all came up, then one day later again the same thing happened.

What is going on? For 8 months it was fine then this keeps happening.

Not sure how to fix this at this point.

It's not about the adjusted value. Its about the (initial) value of the assets when  bought, against the loans should  give a net value.

I still have the assets, I still have the loans I expect a net value that is accurate and works. The auto Zillow adjustments are just nice to have but can be done manually.

Instead, the asset value disappears making the net just be the adjust values and the loan, making the net value very negative. This is not how it worked for 9 months, and not how accounting works.

Even if I put it back it goes away, I have even restored backups and it repeats this behavior after a day.

Hope that makes it clearer, but I am starting to think its a straight up bug and nobody is addressing it. Making this software useless and not providing the services I am paying for.

Zillow integration into QWin is a gimmick, not a feature. There is no reason to track Zillow's guesstimate of your property value(s). It is far more important to track the adjusted cost bases of your properties for tax purposes. Turn off Zillow in QWin and just go to the Zillow site to see what their guesstimate is if that interests you.
