Property Managers, you have
obligations

When operating a vacation rental business, you have obligations. In vacation rental
accounting, there are three primary types of parties who you are obligated to.

To Yourself & Partners. You are obligated to yourself and your own peace-of-mind to run a profitable operation and build your net worth. Short-term guests are awesome, but not if you’re losing money. Proper vacation rental accounting keeps you focused on activities that produce wealth for yourself (and any partners) after paying employees, service providers and creditors.

To Homeowners & Investors. If you’re managing properties on behalf of homeowners or real estate investors, you have a fiduciary obligation to report financial statements and pay rental proceeds. The more transparent you are with your numbers, the more you’ll build trust with your clientele and the more value they’ll see in your services.

To Tax Authorities. You’re obligated to report and pay taxes to tax authorities. This includes federal, state and any local transient occupancy taxes. Avoid an audit, pay what’s owed in taxes and don’t pay anything more than you owe.
