Quote from @Patrick Valadez: Hello BiggerPockets community,I own a short-term rental and have been managing bookkeeping & performance through excel.

I slowly built out a solid excel calculator for 1-50 unit multifamily, I can send it over if you like.

Hello @Sushil Gupta,Excellent question.While no one can accurately predict the future, I can describe the characteristics of cities that are likely to perform well over the long term and experience rapid and sustained appreciation.Prices reflect the balance (or imbalance) between the number of sellers (supply) and buyers (demand).

Quote from @Seth Excellent: Hey everyone!

Your best bet would be to download your bank statements to excel and download bank ledgers from both Stessa and Buildium and match it up on excel.

Quote from @Matt Powers: Hi BP Community,I’m currently working on analyzing a few potential investment opportunities and I’m looking for a solid underwriting template or pro forma model—ideally something built in Excel—for either multifamily or single-family rentals (SFRs).I’d love a model that includes standard inputs like rent, expenses, vacancy, debt service, and ideally also IRR, cash-on-cash, and cap rate outputs.

Get software for book keeping and do not use excel.

But excellent reminders!

I have heard good things about Stessa as a software for tracking income/expenses, but you can get by with just an Excel Spreadsheet as well.
