How do I view my monthly cash flow summary? (rental property)

The Cash Flow page on the Rental Property tab helps you track and manage the short-term spending for your rental property. By providing a quick overview of the rental property spending accounts where you manage your regular deposits and expenses, Quicken can help you determine if you have enough money to cover your monthly bills.

• In includes incoming funds for the month such as rent received.
• Out includes expenses such as bills and other liabilities.
• What's Left reconciles the inflows and outflows, so you can immediately see if you brought in more money for the month or if you spent more than you made.

The In/Out/What's Left snapshot shows a combination of actual and projected values for the current month by default. You can also see actual values for past months and projected values for future months by clicking the arrows on either side of the date above the snapshot. Future (projected) values and estimates in the In/Out/What's Left snapshot are made up primarily of bill and income reminders. Bill and income reminders are scheduled expenses and income that you have told Quicken about. For example, you can schedule monthly bills such as rent and insurance so they appear in the Out area of the snapshot.

The "big picture" provided by In/Out/What's Left is supplemented by other convenient and intuitive tools that provide insight into your finances:

The Rental Property Reminders tab at the bottom of the page displays future rental property transactions.

1. Click Select Accounts to open the account list.
2. To include an account in the Rental Property In/Out/What's Left snapshot, the account must be a rental spending account. Click (change) near the account name to change the tab where the account is shown and the use of the account.

Notes

• Only spending accounts can be included in the In/Out/What's Left snapshot (investing, net worth, and other types of rental accounts are always excluded; you must purchase Quicken Home, Business & Rental Property to see rental banking accounts, which appear only in the In/Out/What's Left snapshot on the Cash Flow page of the Rental Property tab).
• Quicken automatically adds the checking savings, credit card, and cash accounts you track as spending accounts. If you use other account types to manage your regular expenses, you can move them (with some exceptions) to a Spending Accounts group. Use the Account List to do this.
• See Hiding an account for more information about how this setting affects reports and graphs.
