Easiest Way to Streamline your Annual Accounting
Most important tip is to make sure your accounting is as easy as possible, especially for the future.
I recommend that you have a separate rental bank account, where the rent goes, and all expenses are paid out of.
For example, if you need to pay $3,000 for a heat pump, you personally introduce the $3,000 into the rental bank account and then pay the expense from the rental bank account.
Or, if you have paid for an item on your personal credit card, that the rental bank account reimburses you for this straight away. This keeps things simple.
Kind regards

The magic of the managed fund
Let’s talk about shares for a minute. No matter how you invest, there are really just two ways to make money from owning shares:
1. You receive a slice of the profits (called dividends), or
2. You sell your shares to someone else for more than you paid (that’s capital gain).
That’s it. Anything else is simply a different way of packaging those two outcomes.
