I just got a notice that my bank won't accept older postal money orders.Because of fraudulent ones . I save them for emergency things. They are made out to my business,.not personal. Its just the way I like to do it,.and it served me for 32 years.

I Just used some for an unexpected 30K repair.

I do claim it as income but for a number of reasons I don't want to immediately put it in the bank.I have a bank account for each of my 9 muti buildings as it helps me see better income and out goes,keeping tract of 83 tenants on Quicken etc.

So I have lots of older PMO's,..I'm told I can go to the post office and have them renewed, but its a hassle and takes time...people behind me in line are also annoyed so I try not to do many at one time.

I don't understand your process nor how a post office can fix it?

From the web search:

"A postal money order is a type of financial certificate issued on paper by the post office1. It is a safe alternative to cash and personal checks when sending money by mail234. U.S. Postal Service money orders are affordable, widely accepted, and never expire235. They were introduced in 1864 to provide a safe way for soldiers and others to send money over long distances5. Money orders are similar to checks, so they’re more secure to mail than cash3."

Quite the process.

CDs and sweep accounts can also be loaded into accounting software.

Stuff like that annoys me. If you want to continue the money order process, I think you’ll just have to tough it out and go to the post office during off peak hours and get them to renew.

Caleb,

I respect thatyou found a system which akes you feel comfortable.

But times have changed. More and more banking limitations

AND that manager is a kid from our dumbed down schools.

I want SIMPLE. Every time you handle the money or numbers is a chance for mistakes.

With Quicken you don't need separate accounts for each building, they can separated by address. Again, simple.

Spend more time fishing or golfing and less time playing accountant.
