Course Description
This is a “beginner to expert” course in QuickBooks Online that is especially designed for how Landlords and Property Managers would use QuickBooks Online. Rental Property Management is a unique service that requires bookkeeping and accounting methods and techniques that would only apply to the rental property industry. That is why it is best to have the entire tutorial, from start to finish, presented and followed as a landlord. This is the only course that will do that. It also absolutely guarantees the clearest possible explanation and presentation for every possible topic you could need when keeping records of rental property units.
You will have total control over your tenants’ rent payments and invoices. You will be able to present them with a rent report and a separate security deposit report that will clearly show how any part was applied to damages and the amount they are entitled to be refunded.
This course is so great that you will be able to see your profit and loss by apartment or unit to see if any particle unit or tenant is costing to much. All of the separate reports and records that QuickBooks Online will help property managers with all smoothly “tie in” to the main area of financial data that all companies have, the general ledger. So, from the same data, you will have the typical financial reports like: Profit and Loss ( Income Statements), balance sheet and cash flows or anything else. You will enjoy easily learning with very simple set up steps and then simple data entry procedures shown here. Then, you will have complete mastery over your property’s financial records and your tenant reports all in the same place!!
Although everything you see will be simple, you will have expert level knowledge of QuickBooks Online when you finish. You really will be able to handle anything you need.

Mark Smolen
I have 3 decades of experience teaching Computerized Accounting. I have taught QuickBooks at A.S.A college in Manhattan New York. I have made my lessons available to certified job training schools for adult education and have helped place hundreds of students in good paying jobs using QuickBooks and other software that they learned in my class. Now, I've helped thousands of students from Udemy get great jobs or run their own business.
I am a permanently licensed teacher by the New York State Education Department. I am also a Certified QuickBooks Pro adviser for 2 decades. I have made these videos by determining what my clients needed.
I wanted to help anyone using QuickBooks be prepared for the real-life, hands-on challenges that come with mastering the bookkeeping function of any company. I will prepare you for real life QuickBooks situations that can be challenging or frustrating if nobody shows the tips and tricks that will make using QuickBooks a fun task
I enjoy helping students turn frustration in to a feeling of comfort and satisfaction with QuickBooks. I'm always available to my students when they need me.

Very interesting course. Some of the stuff is outdated but if you understand accounting principles, it is easy to get passed the outdated parts.

Great insight on Residential leasing and Property Flip ventures. Numerous sample scenarios.
By John Freed on 2/26/2026
This course has been excellent. I am NOT an accountant and needed something to show me very specifically what to enter for any given transaction and this course has done that.
By David Allen on 11/12/2025
This course covers every possible situation I can think of as a landlord and how to record those transactions using QBO.

I CANT SAY ENOUGH HOW VALUABLE THE INFO MARK PROVIDES TO YOUR QUICKBOOKS AND BOOKKEEPING KNOWLEDGE BASE, BIG FAN!!
By Carmencita R. Delos Reyes on 6/27/2025
Very informative. I have learned a lot.
By Jason Solley on 4/12/2025
The basics are good, however, the advanced topics are not as advanced as I would have liked. It is labeled property management but there is no information about operating Quickbooks if you are an actual property manager. It is for a property owner/landlord.
By Assa Berger on 11/27/2024
Yes, it's super clear. I'm learning so much and the teacher explains everything so well!! We learn about property management and QuickBooks Online together. It's a really great way to learn both!!
By Veronica Zabala on 11/27/2024
This is course is excellent. The instructor explains each task step by step and in a good pace. Vey easy to follow. It contains all the information to start keeping the books on week one. Mr. Smolen is very responsive to questions. Very satisfied. I would like to see a version for landlords using a property management company.
By Zevil Adinerach on 11/21/2024
This course is great! It really did explain everything that I needed. Even though I knew some Quickbooks, this was the course that gave me what I needed for my property management needs. I loved the presentations and will take more of Mark's courses.
