Most landlords overpay taxes because they miss deductible expenses. Our AI receipt scanner captures every expense automatically — so you're always audit-ready.

The $4,200 Mistake Most Landlords Make

The average landlord misses $4,200 in deductible expenses every year — not because those expenses didn't happen, but because tracking receipts manually is a pain that most people skip.

What Counts as a Deductible Expense?

You can deduct virtually any "ordinary and necessary" expense for your rental:

  • **Repairs & maintenance**: plumber, electrician, HVAC service
  • **Property management software**: like Rentadminly
  • **Supplies**: cleaning products, light bulbs, paint
  • **Professional services**: accountant, attorney, contractor
  • **Insurance premiums**: property, liability, umbrella
  • **Mortgage interest and property taxes**
  • **Depreciation**: the biggest deduction most landlords miss
  • How Rentadminly's AI Receipt Scanner Works

    Our integration with GPT-4 vision means you can:

    1. Take a photo of any receipt — crumpled, faded, or handwritten

    2. AI extracts vendor name, amount, date, and category automatically

    3. Review and confirm in one tap — no typing required

    4. Categorized instantly for IRS Schedule E reporting

    The AI understands context too. A receipt from "Home Depot" gets categorized as "Supplies" or "Repairs" based on the line items. A receipt from "State Farm" goes to "Insurance."
