House

(Tell me how)

The value of your property

When you add a property in Quicken, Quicken creates a house account having the same name as the property name and links the house account with the property. But if you already have a house account in Quicken, you can link that house account with a rental property. When you add a house account, enter the original purchase price and the purchase date. Use the Zestimate feature regularly to enter the adjustments for any capital improvements or market value changes.

Notes

If you want to link a house account with a loan account, right-click the account name in the Account Bar, click Edit/Delete Account, and select the name of the loan account in the Mortgage Account list. Quicken can also help you add a loan account to track any amount you owe, and then add a loan to track the payment schedule, principal, and interest.
