Landlord Studio is desktop and mobile software designed to make the lives of landlords and property managers easier. With it you can efficiently track income and expenses, automate tasks, and even screen tenants. 

Our features like smart scanning receipts, bank feed integration, and the ability to instantly produce reports designed for tax season paired with our dashboard give landlords and property managers the ability to gain real-time and valuable insights into their portfolio’s performance.

Landlord Studio is designed for individuals that manage properties themselves and who wish to gain a deeper insight into their portfolio’s finance.

We have users that use a property manager as well as our software, and we have others that do everything themselves.

The sweet spot for our software is managing between 4 and 50 units. However, there is no limit on the number of units that you can manage through the software and with access to your account via the app or desktop portal you can manage your properties however best suits you.

Quickbooks and Xero are complex accounting programs that is designed to service all types of businesses. Customizing Quickbooks to track rental property income and expenses can be a complicated and time-consuming process, especially if you’re new to real estate investing. That said, if you have entity-level accounting needs, run a real estate-related business that doesn’t own rental property, or are accustomed to maintaining traditional balance sheets, you may still prefer to pay for a full-service accounting platform like Quickbooks.

Landlord Studio is a platform that’s purpose-built for rental property owners and works seamlessly from day one. Key real estate metrics like net cash flow, occupancy rates, and appreciation are standard components of the dashboards. Real estate-related income and expense categories are built directly into the transactions ledger. 

You can manage your income and expenses on an organisation, property, or unit level. And with our filters you can generate detailed reports fast. For example, run our Schedule E report, print it out and copy across the details to your Schedule E form. With Landlord Studio, you can expect to be up and running in 15 mins or less!

On top of this Landlord Studio offers a number of automation features that make property management more practical for landlords.

Whilst Landlord Studio is purpose-built for residential income properties we do have users that currently use the system for commercial real estate. 

Just keep in mind that Landlord Studio is not designed to accommodate office, industrial, or speciality properties with complicated rent rolls or single-tenant triple-net leased buildings with lots of pass-through operating expenses. We also do not provide support for setting up and managing commercial properties on the platform.

We always recommend people take advantage of our free trial and set up a few properties on the software to figure out if our software works for their particular needs.

You can’t currently collect rent through the app. However, this is a feature that has been requested by a number of our users and we are currently working on developing it. We are hopeful to release this feature later in 2020.

You can run credit checks on tenants through our app. Read our Detailed Guide on Tenant Screening for more information.

Landlord Studio is available globally. 

Unfortunately, due to regulatory and compliance differences between countries not all of our features are available in every location. For example, Bank Feed integration and in-app Tenant Screening is only available in the US. We intend to expand all our features to all of our users as soon as our 3rd party providers and regulations allow.

Setting up your first property on Landlord Studio takes about 5-10 minutes. Owners of single-family rentals and smaller multi-family buildings may be able to do a simple set up from memory alone. Owners of larger buildings or extensive portfolios will likely need to look up a few key pieces of information like rent rolls and mortgage details to get started.

As mentioned before we offer a free 30 day trial for all our users. We encourage everyone to take advantage of this and not to purchase until they are certain this is the software for them.

If you choose not to buy simply delete the app off your device. After a set period your data will automatically be erased from the system. 

After you have purchased a subscription you can cancel your subscription any time in the settings on our website.

We have a number of different reports that are available in CSV of PDF format including:

Profit/Loss, Net Worth, Schedule E Report, Income Expense, Income/Expense Categories, Breakdown Statement, Mileage, Occupancy, Overdue/Upcoming Expenses, Payments Made, Reminders, Rent Ledger, Rent Overdue List, Rent Roll, Tenant Directory, plus more coming!

Some reports are only available on Growth and Scale plans.*
