The Benefits

Bookkeeping made easy for real estate

Our services are crafted to streamline your financial management, enabling you to focus on expanding your real estate ventures.

Rental property bookkeeping

We track rental income and expenses by property or unit, so you always know your true cash flow. Our real estate bookkeeping services provide P&L statements per property, making it easy to see which rentals are profitable and ready for financing or refinancing.

03
§1031 exchange accounting

We handle the bookkeeping details of §1031 exchanges, tracking basis adjustments, deferred gains, and replacement property costs. With clean, compliant records, your accountant can file with confidence and you maximize your tax savings.

04
Loans, escrow & security deposits

We reconcile mortgage payments, splitting principal, interest, taxes, and insurance correctly. Escrow accounts stay accurate, and tenant security deposits are tracked properly as liabilities — not income — so your books always reflect reality.

FAQS

Frequently asked questions

How much does it cost?

Your business is unique. We don't stick you in a box.

That's why our pricing is bespoke to every client, and depends on the volume of transactions and complexity of your books.

We offer flat monthly rates for ongoing clients and custom quotes for catch-up and clean-up work.

Do you provide bookkeeping for rental properties and multiple units?

Yes. We track rental income and expenses by property or per door using QuickBooks class tracking. This gives you accurate P&Ls by property, so you always know which rentals are profitable and can provide clear reports for banks, lenders, or partners.

Can you handle bookkeeping for fix-and-flips and §1031 exchanges?

Yes. For fix-and-flips, we separate rehab costs, carrying costs, and sale proceeds so you know your true profit margins. We also track flip income correctly, since it’s treated as ordinary income — very different from the sale of long-term investment property, which is treated as capital gains.

For §1031 exchanges, we understand that these involve deferred gains. We track basis adjustments and replacement property costs accurately, so your CPA has clean records to file and you stay compliant.

By handling flips, investment sales, and §1031s differently, we ensure your books reflect the correct treatment for each type of transaction.

How do you handle tenant security deposits in the books?

Security deposits aren’t recorded as income when collected — they’re liabilities, since they belong to the tenant until the lease ends. We keep them separate from rental income so your books stay compliant and accurate.

If a deposit is later applied (for example, toward unpaid last month’s rent or damages), we reclassify it properly at that time. That way, your books always reflect the correct treatment — liability when held, income when earned.
