Does it separate out what is owned by each property and by each Asset Co.

Yes, the REO Broker Turnkey® reports detail by property and asset company.  It is very helpful to show you what to submit to closing, as well, so you don’t miss out on any reimbursements!

Why should I use this system in instead of paper files?  We are doing OK.
This system has checks and controls.  Every time you pay a bill -- utility, landscaping or other -- the system hold this item on a report called, "Unsubmitted Expenses."  There is no way you can lose track of what you need to submit!

Does this include the forms or links to submit electronically to your asset companies or management companies?
Each asset company or manager has their own form and website.  In fact, these are changing frequently so it is not economical to create an interface to the asset companies.  You will still fill out the asset companies online or hard copy forms and submit them.  This program is essential to print checks to vendors and track the reimbursements from the asset companies. 

However, a paper file does not have that built in control.  Most brokers have told us they have missed submitting a few bills here and there.  These add up to hundreds, even thousands of dollars.  Imagine pulling the bill out of the file for just a minute to make a phone call to the landscaper, or put on the copier and forget to take off.  It is that easy to lose hundreds of dollars.  With the REO Broker Turnkey®, that will not happen!

Will this make me and my staff more efficient?
Bills can be accumlated on the "Unsubmitted" report, and only submitted when there is enough quantity to spend the time on, or you need to meet a deadline.  This makes your billing staff more efficient.

The one-time data entry means that what you enter to create the expense, also prints on the check, and with a couple clicks and no data entry, turns it into an Invoice (receivable).

The data entry is quick and easy!

Do I have to buy Quickbooks® Separately?

Yes, you need to purchase QuickBooks Pro 2008 or newer.  Our online link offers QuickBooks® at promotional rates.  You may click here to order online right now.

How do I install it?

All instructions are provided.  It will take abou t 10 minutes to complete the set up.  You will also print our REO Broker Turnkey® Manual, which is about 35 pages.  Because it has nice diagrams, we suggest you print it in color.

We weren’t sure what to use in QuickBooks®, Classes, Customers, Jobs, Chart of Accounts?  How do we know which to use?
The REO Turnkey program has this all set up for you.  All you have to do is follow our 10 minute set up and read the manual.  It is very difficult to know which of these to use.  That is why almost every broker like yourself has problems.  How you set it up determines the reports you can get.

Right now, I have al lot of data entered into my own Quickbooks®.  Can I use my current file?

Yes, you can use our system with yours.  You will gradually get rid of your old data as those properties are closed.  Eventually all of the new properties will be on this system.  If you want to use your current file, please purchase, then email requesting the set up instructions to merge with your own file.

We suggest that, if your file has a lot of financial entries that are incorrect or very wrong, that you start a new file.  Or, make adjustments to eliminate the balances on properties. 

If you are fairly new to Quickbooks®, then reentering the data can be helpful for you.  This way you start with a clean file

Always back up your file before making changes. 

Is this only for property reimbursements, or can we track our real estate or property rental business? You may use this both for the REO reimbursements and your general operating account (real estate sales).  However, because you will need to see the profitability of your real estate business in general, we suggest you only use the REO Turnkey file for expenses and reimbursement on the property and use a separate QuickBooks® file for your General Operating account.  It is very difficult to track a Profit and Loss (Income Statement) on your business with the two combined in one file.

How much data entry is there?

The data entry is simplified so that you have the least data entry possible!  No more double entry and handwritten checks.  From the payments you enter for vendors, your entries flow to printing the checks, and recording the receivables (amounts owed to you) by the asset companies, with no additional data entry!

How much data entry is there to set up the file? To get started, plan on up to one to three hours to enter your basic company data, properties, and vendors.  Brokers with fifty or more properties will take longer.  You may also want to enter outstanding invoices (paid bills) owned to you.  This will take several hours or more, depending on the number of properties and invoices you have.

Do I have to pay a monthly or annual license?

No!  This is one of the few products you will buy that is a one-time purchase!  Every time you choose to upgrade QuickBooks® to the new version, your data will upgrade with it.

My contact management system is tracking the money? 

There are some very good tracking systems out there that manage orders, the property management side, BPOs, offers and more.  However, the money management side is very detailed and should only be handled with a proper accounting system, such as the REO Broker Turnkey®.  In fact, we suggest we do not integrate (push data) into this system without fully understanding it’s source.  Your money is your best asset, and protecting its integrity and accuracy is what we do best.

to open the Table of Contents.  The manual is easy to read with pictures that guide you every step of the way.  It is under 40 pages, so easy to read and follow. 

Why is this better than Excel or Paper files?
You will have instant management reports.  The following reports are key to you knowing your cash position, and to be confident you or your staff are submitting all bills:
1 - Unbilled Expenses:  Bills you haven't yet submitted to your asset company, listed by property and asset company.  The total is the amount unsubmitted.  You will also immediately see all large bills that need to be submitted right away.

2 - Amounts owed to Broker by Property and Asset Company:  The total is the amount you have submitted, but not yet been paid on.  Combine items 1 and 2, and that is your total dollar outlay.  This is a CASH ASSET that you need to track.

Hundreds of Brokers have purchased this.   We have a great network of happy REO Brokers who refer this by word of mouth.

What is the guarantee?

We have a 100% satisfaction guarantee!  Website-Office-20girl.jpg

How hard is it to use?

With our manual with pictures and easy to read instructions, the system is easy to use, even for a QuickBooks® beginner!  Our custom lists and set up are ONLY for the REO Broker industry.   

While QuickBooks® was developed to fit hundreds or thousands of uses, our system explains exactly how to account for your funds in this software.  Most Brokers have problems by not understanding how to use the powerful features, and ultimately enter data incorrectly.  Don’t waste time and risk your money by investing hundreds of hours of data input . . . only to find the file was set up wrong.

What if I haven’t used QuickBooks® before?
Even beginners can use QuickBooks® with our copyrighted system tailored for REO Brokers.  The manual has pictures and easy to read instructions.  We also suggest you purchase, “QuickBooks® for Dummies” from your local bookstore, if you like additional tutorials on the software.Website-Office-20girl.jpg

Where do I store the data on my computer?

Our manual tells you where to store the files, and back up.

Since the Expenses are  a “wash account”, why does it show deposits (income) and payments (expenses) separately, and not just “zero” each other out.
For your taxes, you should consult your CPA or tax preparer.  However, to run a business, you do need to see the income and expenses separately.  That makes it easier to manage your business.  It is also easier to “see” the transactions in QuickBooks® and to use the reports to make decisions and to create property closing reports that have the level of detail you need.

Your CPA or tax preparer can file taxes appropriately using this system.

We do suggest that you keep this file separately from your General Operating account QuickBooks® file. That is because your General Operating Account will track the profitability of your business, and this will be very difficult should you mix the two systems. 

When you “lose” money on a property because you are not fully reimbursed by the Asset Company, you can record that in your General Operating QuickBooks® file.  That is for more advanced or high volume users.  Please see the manual for options on recording losses.
