Investment Property Bookkeeping
Rental Property Accounting is Not Sexy
​
In most cases, rental property accounting is not why people get into real estate investing. It’s admittedly not the sexiest topic. But managing your money well can lead to tax savings, increased rental income, lower expenses, and more overall ROI. Poor money management can lead to overpaying taxes, lost rental income, higher expenses, and low ROI.
When managing a portfolio of rental properties, you will want to ask yourself some of the following questions: how will you manage the constant flow of rent checks, management fees and maintenance invoices?
How do you know which of your properties are eating into your profits?
Staying on top of your bookkeeping is the solution to safeguarding your business and maximizing your financial performance
