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.

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.

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. QuickBooks and Xero sync available on Business plan.

We integrate with Hostaway, Guesty, OwnerRez, and more — plus QuickBooks, Xero, and Slack. New integrations added monthly.
