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.

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.
