How Can I Track Timeshare Rental/expenses In Quicken Or Excel?

We own a few timeshare weeks that we typically rent out. We’re looking for an easy way to track our expenses and income. We use Quicken Deluxe. Neither of us has any accounting experience so don’t know the “correct” way to do this. I tried creating an asset account in Quicken, but when I did a deposit in our checking account with the category being a transfer to the timeshare asset, it came out as a decrease in the asset. Should we just do two transactions instead of trying to tie the them together? Any and all advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Quicken Help: Designating Fund Transfers?

Hi,
How can I designate a transaction on my bank account as a transfer to/from my other bank accounts, without Quicken automatically duplicating that transaction on the other account?
Scenario:
Transfer $500 from Account A to Account B.
Account A shows -$500, Account B shows +$500. But I would like Quicken to recognize that these are not income or expenses, but merely transfers.
I tried labeling the -$500 in Account A as a “Transfer to Account B”. But Quicken automatically duplicates the record on Account B with a +$500 entry, in addition to the +$500 entry already in Account B.

Accounting And Marking Hours As Independent Contractor?

Hi, I’m looking for software that will help me with my finances and help with marking hours that I’ve worked. This software would have to be able to print out a detailed depiction of the hours I’ve worked, account for overtime and what not. I’m familiar with MS Accounting and Quicken, but I don’t know too much detailed info about either software package.
As always, thanks for your help.

Most public libraries have excel installed on their computers, but not accounting type software. Is there a web site that allows you to play around with Quicken? I’m familiar with tutorials. I just want to practice entering “sample” transactions

Which Online Brokers Allow Me To Open $100 Account To Start?

I’m interested ideally (not required) in one which I can keep my checking, etc., all there to manage using my Quicken software. Moving money between accounts is ideal. If it doesnt require fees to use Quicken’s Direct Connect, so much the better.
I’m interested in learning day trading. Is TD Ameritrade the best? Can I open a $100 account to try it out?

I know some banks require you to set up the download ability with them first.
I have Wells Fargo, and I had to get a login ID, password before MS Money would let me download transactions.
