In QuickBooks when you receive a security deposit you want to be able to account for it in the same transaction as that first month's rent since it will most likely all be paid with one check. There are many ways to account for this in QuickBooks but I think this is the best way - watch and see why!

  • This video is exactly what I am looking for to learn about this area but it goes by too fast that I had to give up after trying to follow along a few times. Please slow down and make the screen easier to read, after all this is supposed to be a tutorial.

  • @wapleking You may want to try the original. This is after all a FREE tutorial. The original which is linked in the description gives a better quality rendering. It was recorded a long time ago. On older software. Also if you are serious about learning accounting for real estate then visit my real estate accounting website and sign up there. This is also linked in the description of this video. 5,189 views and one complaint on a free tutorial? I'll take it.

  • @nerdenterprises: Why not record the security deposit as a long term liability instead of current liability since most people are in their units for more than a year?

  • @jesusneverexisted300 I would only classify it as long term if the lease specifically provided for a term of more than 1 year. Since most leases are for exactly 1 year and then usually month to month after that it is more appropriate to classify it as current.

  • I am sure that this is quite good, unfortunately, it is impossible to see anything.

  • @radbcc Thanks for your comment. You may want to try watching it in full screen mode by clicking the icon at the very bottom right of the video screen with the 4 arrows pointing diagonally to each corner. There is also the original link in my blog which will launch this video in a new window in your browser. This should play much larger and make it easier to see. I have placed it in the description above for your convenience.
