Real Estate & Rentals
Bookkeeping for landlords and property managers in Tennessee
Landlords, property managers, agents, and short-term rental owners. Your books should tell you how each property is actually performing, not just what's in the bank account.
Why generic bookkeeping falls short here
One blended number can't tell you which property is actually making you money.
If your rent roll, expenses, and mortgage payments all land in one general ledger with no property tags, you can't tell whether your best-performing property is carrying two that are barely breaking even.
Security deposits are liabilities, and need to stay separate from operating funds. Mixing them in is one of the fastest ways to end up owing money you thought you had.
Schedule E doesn't forgive sloppy books. Your tax preparer needs clean, per-property numbers.
What I handle
The landlord-specific parts.
Per-Property Reporting
Income and expenses tracked property by property, so you know exactly what each one is actually earning.
Security Deposit Tracking
Deposits tracked separately from operating cash and reconciled against what you may actually owe tenants.
Owner Draw and Distribution Tracking
Clear separation between what the property earned and what you took out, so you're not guessing at year end.
CapEx vs. Repair Tracking
Capital improvements tracked separately from repairs, matching how your tax preparer needs to treat them.
Short-Term Rental Support
Platform payouts from Airbnb or Vrbo reconciled against what actually hit the bank, occupancy taxes included.
Clean Schedule E Support
A package built around how your preparer actually files, so nothing gets missed or double-counted.
