Hello BP!
I'm having a mental moment I thought the kind BP community could assist with! I recently sold my first property (I've historically been more of a buy and hold kinda guy), and I'm struggling with the QB journal entry to close out the property.
I know I need to debit my asset accounts and credit my contra-asset accumulated depreciation accounts. What I'm confused about are all of the fees I paid that were accounted for on the HUD... like the real estate commission for example. If I enter these as expenses what do they get offset against?
I hope this makes sense because my brain feels like mush after thinking about this for the last hour LOL.
If you take a screenshot of your HUD, I will let you know the j/e you need to book. But more than likely if you are debiting the amount of "cash to seller", then the expenses above will need to be debited as expenses and credit to cash
