Newly Purchased Investment Property

I have recently purchased multiple SFR as investment properties.

I am currently doing numerous renovations on the home, such as new texture, replacing the whole kitchen/bathroom fixtures, cabinets.

New flooring throughout, paint, windows etc… I understand that for tax purposes I cannot classify these as repairs, but I need to classify them as renovations in the cost basis.

I purchased the Quicken Home& Business program and upgraded it to include rental properties.

However, I cannot figure out how to tract my renovation expenses and categorize the transactions properly so it will reflect as a renovation (Cost basis) for tax reporting purposes.

Right now, I have inputted all of the transactions as an expense for each corresponding property, but the transactions are un-categorized.

I'd like to use the perpetual FIFO inventory system but I understand in the perpetual system you don't use the Purchases accounts. However, I'd also like to use the Purchase Discounts Available and Purchase Discounts Taken accounts so I know how well we are paying within the discount time. Is it ok to use the Purchase Discounts Available and Purchase Discounts Taken accounts when using the Perpetual Inventory System?
