The P&L shows how well or poorly the business is doing.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The rental property profit and loss statement is a report that summarizes revenues received and expenses incurred. Also known as a P&L or income statement, it shows how well or poorly the business is doing by its net income or loss. The majority of income is reflected by the rent landlords collect from tenants. As for expenses, they can vary and can range from general maintenance such as lawn care to property taxes. With the profit and loss report, landlords can identify areas to reduce expenses or make improvements to strengthen the business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How do you create a an income statement? The easiest way is with landlord accounting software. There are free templates<\/a> available, like the Zillow worksheet<\/a>. Templates and spreadsheets are not the best choice<\/a> for landlords because they are not powerful enough and can be one dimensional with limited reporting capabilities. Believe it or not, similar to templates, there is free landlord accounting software. For example, RentalIncomeExpense.com<\/a> is an income and expense tracking tool designed for landlords. It is free and easily generates a rental property profit and loss statement. When using a good tool to generate reports, landlords can quickly determine how their business is doing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
