How does one go about adding rental properties in Quicken Classic for Mac? The set up seems to be dramatically different from the windows version.
Quicken Mac doesn't have rental property support.
Hi @Gigi2026
I Use Classic Business & Personal, and I did setup every property as a business on its own, and I do assign rent received and all expenses to that business. At the end you can follow and retrieve reports for each business individually or all together.
@Gigi2026 While there aren't rental property specific features available in Quicken Mac like there are in Quicken Windows, many people find it usable for tracking income and expenses for their rental properties as @debbeh stated. Understand that the business and rental property features in Quicken Windows have existed for many years, but the business features were just added to Quicken Mac about two-and-a-half years ago. The Quicken Mac development team has been continually adding business and invoicing features over that time. Whether they will eventually add rental property features similar to Quicken Windows is unknown, but the current functionality allows you to generate invoices, track receivables, report on income and expenses by property or in total for all properties, etc. Unless you have a really large business with dozens of rental properties, you should be able to set up the tracking you need.
You can also add your vote to the feature request for specific rental property functionality here:
It's a very old Idea thread from years before the Business & Personal product was available for Quicken Mac, so some of the comments are out of date, but all the more recent requests for rental tools since Business & Personal arrived two years ago have been consolidated into this thread. You should certainly add your vote at the top of the first page, but then also add a comment on what specific features you're looking to help the developers hit the right targets if they decide to move ahead with this functionality.
Thank you jacobs. That was very informative.
