Landlord Bookkeeping Spreadsheets?
27 May 2016 | 12 replies
I try to include a phone number too9) Category (not necessary but I do it for my own purposes)So (forgive the formatting I'll use hyphens for field separators):Create: Dale Dr - 5/4/13 - Repair faucet and replace valve - $250.00 - Check - #1527 - Monopoly Bank - Vic's Plumbing (708-500-5000) - Plumbing repairs.With one house, you probably don't need the house column but if you add a second rental, it'll come in handy so that you can use one sheet to put all expenses.Then I would create a separate spreadsheet to write down your:1) taxes2) insurance3) Rents4) Interest paidFor rents, just put each month of the year in a column and write down the rent amount paid for each month as it comes in during the year and then total it up at the end.For taxes, when you pay each installment (i'm assuming two), just write down the amount paid and the date and total the amounts at the end of the year.For insurance and mortgage interest, just the amount.Then, when I do my taxes, I have a worksheet for each property that shows the CPA the following:1) All the expense item detail along with a total.2) Mortgage interest paid for the year.3) Taxes paid4) Insurance amount paid5) Rents collected.From there, they can easily calculate everything they need.
