How it works
Most owners run rent, repairs, and household bills through ordinary bank accounts. Roof Yield starts from the statements you already have.
Download a CSV, OFX, or QFX file from your bank's website and drop it in. Rows you've already imported are skipped, so overlapping dates are fine.
Roof Yield suggests the property and category from words you teach it, like a tenant's name or a unit number, and from what you chose last time. Accept a month of rent in one click.
The overview shows income, expenses, and cash flow for everything, just the rentals, or one property. At tax time, Schedule E has your rentals by line, ready to download or print.
What's inside
Per property
Income and expenses belong to a property, or to General for costs shared across all of them. See any one property on its own, with its own photo and address.
Your home
Track a home you live in next to your rentals: utilities, HOA dues, property tax, repairs. It stays off Schedule E, and the overview can show everything or just the rentals.
Owner's capital
When the rentals run short and you cover it from savings, that deposit is marked as yours, not counted as income. One total shows what you have put in and taken out.
Import and review
Imported rows wait for your review with a suggested property and category. Repeating payments are grouped, so twelve rent deposits are accepted together.
Line 12
One payment becomes interest, principal, and escrow. Only the interest reaches Schedule E, and the split is remembered for next month.
Documents
Attach photos and PDFs to an entry, or keep leases, insurance, and HOA notices on the property with titles, tags, and search.
Line 18
Record the basis, land value, and in-service date. Roof Yield shows the straight-line figure beside what you claim, so you can check your preparer's number.
Your data
Your records are only ever used to run your books.
You choose which statements to upload. Roof Yield never asks for your bank password.
Protect your account with an authenticator app, or sign in with your fingerprint or face.
Every account is walled off, so no one else can ever see your records.
Download a zip of every record and every file you uploaded, whenever you like.
Free, with nothing to install. It works in any browser, on your phone too.
