How do I manage property in Quicken?

Quicken lets you track the value of physical assets such as homes, vehicles, and personal property. These property accounts help you maintain an accurate net worth and link assets to related debts, such as mortgages or auto loans.

Common tasks

Here are some of the most common property-related actions you can take:

Add a new property account

1. Choose Tools > Add Account.

2. Select Property & Debt, then choose Asset.

3. Follow the prompts to enter the asset name, value, and details.

Edit a property's value

1. Open the property account from the Account List.

2. Enter a new transaction with the updated value or adjust the account balance directly.

3. Optionally, add a memo to record the reason for the change (e.g., appraisal).

Link a loan to a property

1. Choose Tools > Add Account, then add the loan under Property & Debt > Loan.

2. During setup, select the related property account as the asset tied to the loan.

3. Complete the loan setup to link the accounts.

Track equity over time

Once linked, loan payments reduce your loan balance and increase your property equity.
You can view equity and loan interest in reports, the Tax Planner, and Lifetime Planner.
