The Problem

STR Operators Spend 8+ Hours a Month on Expense Tracking

Bills scattered across inboxes. Spreadsheets that don't scale. No per-property visibility. And when tax season hits, you're scrambling to figure out which IRS line each expense belongs on.

Everything You Need to Manage Property Expenses

Snap a photo of any receipt. We read it, categorize it, and file it — works from your phone.

Automatic alerts when a bill spikes. Catch water leaks, rate increases, and billing errors early.

Cross-Property Benchmarking

Compare costs across your portfolio. See which units are efficient and where you're overspending.

Schedule E Tax Prep

Every expense auto-mapped to the correct IRS line item. Owner and arbitrage mappings built in.

Revenue + P&L Tracking

Import revenue from Airbnb, VRBO, or direct bookings. See true profit per property.

Smart Alerts

Due soon, overdue, unusual amounts, missing bills — never miss a payment again.

Ask AI

Ask questions about your expenses in plain English. "What did I spend on utilities last quarter?"

Testimonials

What Operators Are Saying

I used to spend Sunday afternoons entering receipts into a spreadsheet. Now I just forward my bills and snap receipts — HostFi handles the rest. Easily saving 6+ hours a month.

Sarah M.

Airbnb Host · 6 units

Tax season used to be a nightmare. Figuring out which expenses go on which Schedule E line was guesswork. HostFi's auto-mapping is a lifesaver — my CPA actually complimented how organized everything was.

Marcus T.

Arbitrage Operator · 12 units

The anomaly detection alone paid for itself. Caught a water bill that was 3x normal — turned out to be a running toilet in one of my units. Would've cost me hundreds more if I'd missed it.

Jennifer K.

Property Manager · 23 units

Why HostFi

Built by an Operator, for Operators

“I was spending entire weekends organizing receipts and figuring out which IRS line each expense belonged on. I built HostFi because no tool understood how rental operators actually work.”

— Kevin, Founder

FAQ

Common Questions

Any rental property — single-family homes, multi-family, condos, short-term rentals (Airbnb, VRBO), and commercial. If it has expenses, HostFi can track them.

Spreadsheets don't understand rental properties — you end up building complex formulas just to track per-property costs. QuickBooks is powerful but designed for general businesses, not rental operators. HostFi is purpose-built: it auto-categorizes expenses by property, maps directly to IRS Schedule E line items, and catches anomalies like utility spikes automatically. No accounting degree required.

Forward bills to your unique HostFi email address. Our AI reads the document, extracts amount, due date, vendor, and category, then matches it to the correct property based on your account details.

Owners and arbitrage operators have different tax situations. For example, an owner deducts mortgage interest on Line 12, while an arbitrage operator deducts rent on Line 19 (Other). HostFi handles both automatically.

We use bank-level encryption and never store banking credentials. Your data is encrypted at rest and in transit. Bill payments are processed through licensed third-party providers — we never touch your funds.

Yes. Import from CSV or Excel — our import wizard auto-maps your columns and flags duplicates. Xero sync coming soon on Business plan.

Yes. HostFi integrates with Hospitable, OwnerRez, Hostaway, Guesty, and Lodgify to sync properties and bookings automatically. You can also connect Airbnb and VRBO directly without a PMS. We also connect with Plaid for bank sync, plus Slack, Google Sheets, Google Drive, Zapier, and Make. QuickBooks and Xero exports available too.

Cancel anytime from your settings — no contracts, no fees. Your data stays accessible for 30 days after cancellation.
