You do not need a perfect system on day one. You need a loop you can repeat weekly: capture, tag, review.

Why jobs matter for small landlords

Jobs group spend beyond “Property A” vs “Property B.” That context helps you and your CPA separate repairs from improvements without relying on memory.

Receipts and tools

Do I need a scanner?

No. Phone photos work if the totals and vendor name are readable.

What about personal cards?

Use one dedicated card for rental spend when you can. Mixed cards mean more detective work at year-end.

Keep your expenses organized all year — not just at tax time.
