Three things we watchin rental books.

Reconciling and closing are the same everywhere. This is where these books differ.

  1. Several properties, one account

    You can’t see which property earns and which one eats it. We tag every deposit and bill to a property.

  2. Repair or improvement?

    Repairs are expensed that year, improvements depreciated. We note the reasoning on every receipt.

  3. Deposits aren’t income

    It’s money you give back, so it sits in its own liability account. Rental income also shapes your family’s tax plan.

The estimator opens with your industry already picked.

How is rental income reported?
If you own rentals personally or through a single-member LLC, income and expenses usually go on Schedule E of your 1040, property by property. A multi-member LLC files a partnership return (1065) first, with K-1s to the owners. We keep the monthly books in that shape.
Is a security deposit income?
Not if you plan to return it. Any part you keep because the tenant broke the lease becomes income in the year you keep it. A deposit that will serve as the last month’s rent is advance rent, and income when received.
What happens to the price with more properties?
Essential covers three properties; each additional property adds $15 a month. See your exact number in the price estimator.

A P&L for every property,every month.

We set the scope and the price before anything starts. Then the books are ours.

No commitment. Nothing to prepare.
