USA Windows Quicken 2017 business software

[Terry Antle]

I am new to this forum so please excuse me if this question has already been asked.

My question is about posting a transaction for real estate investments. I am not new to Quicken but am new to the business side of it and I am not an accountant. I hope these questions make sense. I have multiple residential properties that I have invested cash to purchase or invest in the property.

1) How should I post this transaction to show it as a real estate transaction?
2) What tax line item and schedule should be used to show this as an asset in the financial statement reports such as a balance sheet?
3) How do I reverse this when I sell the property or my investment is returned to me?

Quicken is not the best software for business use. Personal home use it may be okay but too many issues come up with business records.
