Run your rental like a business, not a hobby.
The desk reference for the financial side of a short-term rental — the whole system, in one volume.
One book for the whole picture.
Some guides teach you Airbnb. Others teach you taxes. Others teach you bookkeeping. Almost none teach how the whole financial system fits together — which is exactly where owners lose money and clarity. That's why this manual exists.
Two ways in.
Under contract, or still running the numbers
Read it cover to cover. The chapters build your foundation in the right order — so you set it up correctly from day one.
A year in, with books that need work
Start where it hurts. A guided path through the chapters that matter most — so you can fix what's wrong without starting over.
Real pages, not a pitch.
A reference you keep nearby. Flip through the contents and the chapters, the way it actually reads.
Four outcomes.
Know whether your property is actually making money.
Honest underwriting, the true cost stack, and the few metrics that tell you how a rental is really performing.
Keep books you — and your accountant — can trust.
A clean chart of accounts, the monthly close done right, and statements you can read like a manager.
Understand the tax rules that actually matter.
Classification, material participation, the deductions that hold up, and the strategies worth knowing.
Build a financial system that scales.
The right entity, financing that fits, and the infrastructure to add the next property cleanly.
Twelve chapters in all — closing with a 13-step financial roadmap.
Yours the moment you buy.
Instant digital download — the complete 249-page reference, yours to keep and read on any device. Because it’s delivered instantly, all sales are final.
