Real Estate Professional Status/Time Tracking

Any recommendations on the most efficient way to track your time when classified as a real estate professional? My accountant wants me to start doing this in the event of an audit being I’m starting larger projects and will be implementing cost segregation

Thanks

We use a very simple spreadsheet, date, activity done, hours spent, miles driven. We have been audited by the IRS recently with no issues.

I ended up doing a STR under 7 days to offset my W2 income. Way easier for me. :)

I found a free monthly timesheet template that eventually worked great for me. I see lots of us struggle with time tracking, so I shared it here; hope it helps. (It's also printable.)
