Easiest Way to Streamline your Annual Accounting

Easiest Way to Streamline your Annual Accounting

Most important tip is to make sure your accounting is as easy as possible, especially for the future. 

 

I recommend that you have a separate rental bank account, where the rent goes, and all expenses are paid out of. 

 

For example, if you need to pay $3,000 for a heat pump, you personally introduce the $3,000 into the rental bank account and then pay the expense from the rental bank account. 

 

Or, if you have paid for an item on your personal credit card, that the rental bank account reimburses you for this straight away.  This keeps things simple.

 

Kind regards

Ross

Lifetime Book Club: Ikigai by Héctor García & Francesc Miralles

“The happiest people are not the ones who achieve the most. They are the ones who spend their lives doing what they love, with purpose.”

That is the central idea of Ikigai.

This is not a hustle manual or a step-by-step guide to success. It is a gentle, thoughtful exploration of what gives life meaning, and how small, intentional choices can lead to a longer, happier, more fulfilled life.

To Succeed in Property Investment, You Need to Buy Where You Can Add Value

As the property market becomes slightly more active, with small upward movements in median prices over the past few months, the key is to buy wisely and ensure the numbers work in your favour.
