Jamie,

I'm not an accountant.

Why do you want to want to do the above? Consider an asset account called
'petty cash' and provide a starting balance by transfering it from checking,
savings, or another asset account.

You'll be gaining income from this business, and have expenses (which can be
attributed to each rental unit or customer) and probably have to pay taxes
on the revenue. Where equity enters the picture I've no idea.

Also, keep the thread on the mail list as it may be of value to others now
or later.
