What does it mean to track my real estate assets?
Whether you’re self-managing, or working with a skilled property manager—we provide you with the platform and tools to track your work orders, cash flow, expenses, and much more!

How to track your assets so you don’t lose track

In baseball, as with many sports, they always tell you to “keep your eye on the ball”. The same is true for your real estate investing: it’s vital to keep your eye on your assets, so you’ll never lose track.

Property Management. BiggerPockets partners with industry-leading platforms that empower you to independently manage your properties. Otherwise, we’ll connect you with qualified local property management teams, and work with you to manage the managers.

Maintaining Your Investment. Keeping an eye on your assets is important. Through our broad platform of enterprise tools, we help you monitor your investment so you don’t lose track!

Reporting. Reporting is about continually keeping up with the numbers, work orders, market values, etc., so you’ll have the insights you need at each step of the journey.

Systems Approach. It’s challenging enough to track a single property. As your portfolio grows, the complexity grows by orders of magnitude. We help you track smarter, not harder, through a systems approach to tracking and property management.

Bookkeeping and Tax Prep. Tracking your income, expenses, profit, and loss starts with proper recordkeeping. Our approach helps you maximize your tax deductions and REI income.

At BiggerPockets, we give pro members the tools they need to never lose track of their investments. From property management software to reporting tools, you’ll always have an eye on your assets.
