Who we help · Real estate owners
Bookkeeping for Twin Cities rental property owners.
One property or twenty, you need clean books per door — for refinancing, for taxes, for knowing whether unit 3B is actually pulling its weight.
Common things we see
What real estate books actually need.
Schedule E
Schedule E ready by February
Rental income, repairs vs. capital improvements, mortgage interest, property tax, insurance — categorized correctly all year so the return writes itself.
Depreciation
Tracked across every asset
Roofs, appliances, HVAC, fences — basis and useful life on every capital expenditure, so we never miss a deduction or trigger a recapture surprise.
Why clean books pay off
What the tax code actually allows.
Depreciate the building over 27.5 years
Residential rental property is written off on a 27.5-year straight-line schedule — clean basis tracking makes sure you take it.
Repairs now, improvements over time
A repair (fixing a lock, patching a wall) is deductible the year you pay it. An improvement gets capitalized and depreciated. Categorizing right all year is the whole game.
Defer the gain with a 1031
Rolling one investment property into another can defer the capital-gains tax — if the timeline is handled correctly.

Most real estate owners owners we work with start with Books + Tax.
Real estate is where bookkeeping decisions become tax decisions in real time — repair vs. capital improvement, passive vs. active, depreciation method. Books + Tax keeps both ends in one place so the call we make in June about a roof shows up correctly in April.
Books + Tax
Full-year bookkeeping plus annual tax filing — one person, one bill.
