Just built it from scratch. Pretty simple really. The only slightly challenging to do (if you haven't done it before) is set up a couple of drop down boxes through Data > Validation....for the expense & property listing categories.
You may only need expense category if you have one or two...
One paper file per property. All paperwork sorted in chronological order.
One excel spreadhseet contains for one record for any and all IP related transactions which contains the following information;
property name
transaction amount
expense type
rent
date
supplier/payer
account...
