FAQs
What is Landlord Studio’s rental accounting software?
Landlord Studio is real estate accounting software designed specifically for landlords. Track rental income, expenses, mileage, and receipts in one place. Automate your bookkeeping, reduce tax-time stress, and make better financial decisions for your rental property business.
How do I track income and expenses?
Landlord Studio has lots of features that make income & expense tracking easy. From our spreadsheet import function designed to get you set up fast, to our receipt scanner and mobile app, you can stay on top of your finances wherever you are. We cover the complete flow for logging income and tracking expenses on our mobile and desktop apps.
What is bank feed integration, and how secure is it?
Bank feed integration allows you to securely connect your US-based bank accounts to Landlord Studio using Plaid, a trusted financial data aggregator used by apps like Venmo and Robinhood.
Your connection is read-only—Landlord Studio cannot move money or initiate transactions. This means your financial data is always safe, and your funds are protected. All data is encrypted end-to-end, and we never store your bank login credentials.
Once connected, your transactions are automatically imported and categorized. You can reconcile them quickly with real-time suggestions, set up rules for recurring expenses, and ensure every tax-deductible item is captured, without any manual entry.
How do I enable bank feeds?
Open the Landlord Studio app, go to the bank feeds section, and follow the guided setup to securely link your bank via Plaid. Once connected, transactions will start syncing automatically.
Here’s the complete flow for setting up Bank Feeds Integration.
How does the Smart Receipt Scanner help landlords?
The Smart Receipt Scanner lets you snap a photo of any receipt, then auto-fills the expense details and attaches the image to the transaction. It stores everything securely in the cloud, helping you stay audit-ready and paper-free.
Can I generate a Schedule E and other tax reports?
Yes! Landlord Studio allows you to instantly generate over 15 accountant-approved reports, including Schedule E, Profit & Loss, and Income vs. Expenses. Filter by property, date, or category. Reports are exportable and easy to share with your accountant.
Here’s the complete flow for generating financial reports on our mobile and desktop apps.
Is this accounting software suitable for landlords with multiple properties?
Absolutely. Whether you have one rental or an entire portfolio, Landlord Studio scales with your business. You can assign income and expenses to specific properties, generate per-property reports, and stay organized across your entire portfolio.
Can I use Landlord Studio with my accountant or CPA?
Yes! You can easily export reports or invite your accountant to collaborate using our accountant portal or our Xero integration, which syncs your financial data in real time, perfect for end-of-year tax prep.
Can I use Landlord Studio if I manage both commercial and residential rentals?
Yes. Landlord Studio works for both residential and commercial landlords. Allowing you to track income and expenses on a property-by-property basis, ideal for both simple and complex portfolios, as it allows you to run tailored reports on specific assets and analyze performance by property type.
Is Landlord Studio suitable for multi-unit or multifamily properties?
Absolutely. Whether you manage single-family homes, duplexes, or larger multifamily portfolios, Landlord Studio allows you to track income and expenses on a property by property basis, at an individual unit level, or even room by room. Assign income and expenses to specific units or properties, and generate unit-level or portfolio-level reports with ease.
Can I use QuickBooks for rental property accounting?
You can, but QuickBooks is built for general small businesses, not landlords. To make it work for rentals you have to set up classes or locations for each property, map your chart of accounts to Schedule E yourself, and keep receipts and mileage somewhere else.
Landlord Studio is built for rental property from the start. Every transaction is assigned to a property or unit, income and expenses are sorted into categories that line up with Schedule E, and receipts and mileage are tracked in the same app. At tax time, you run your Schedule E report in one click and share it with your CPA.
What is the best free rental property accounting software?
Landlord Studio Go is free forever for up to 3 units. It includes income and expense tracking, the Smart Receipt Scanner, a mileage tracker, and online rent collection, with no limit on how long you use it.
When you want to automate your bookkeeping, Landlord Studio Pro adds bank feeds, automated bank rules, Schedule E and other tax-ready reports, and the Xero integration for $12 a month. Every new account starts with a 14-day Pro trial, and no credit card is needed to sign up.
