How it works

  1. Buy on Etsy and download the .xlsx file.
  2. Open it in Excel, or upload it to Google Drive and choose File → Save as Google Sheets.
  3. Delete the clearly marked sample data, add your properties and start logging.

This is a record-keeping tool, not legal, tax or accounting advice. Deposit limits, interest, how deposits must be held, return deadlines and allowed deductions all differ by state, province and city. The tracker only does the arithmetic for the numbers you enter, so please check your local rules. It was designed with the help of AI tools, then reviewed and tested before release.
