Bookkeeping with excel

[Travis Lewing]

Hello Bigger Pockets!

I just closed on my first rental property and need to begin tracking expenses.  I only have the one duplex at the moment so it should be fairly simple at this point.  Any tips on an easy to use excel format to track this stuff?  Should i do a running tally on one sheet or break the sheets into months to track rent in and expenses out for the property?

Any help is welcome, and TIA.
