About
Built by a landlord who needed it.
Rentals Ledger started as a personal frustration, not a business plan.
The story
Why this exists
I'm a DIY landlord and investor. Every rental tool I tried did the easy 70% of the job well — track rent, snap a receipt, see a tidy P&L — and then quietly punted the hard 30% that actually moves your tax bill: depreciation, the repair-vs-capital call, a Schedule E that maps to the right lines, a binder my CPA could actually use.
The tools that did handle that depth either charged per door until the price climbed past reason, or sat at three times the price of everything else. So I built the part nobody else wanted to: a real tax engine, AI-native from the start, that does the hard 30% and hands you and your accountant something filing-ready.
It's indie and built in public. No outside funding to answer to, no fabricated team page — just the product, shipped honestly, and a public trail of what's changing and why.
The mission
Serious tax depth, made affordable
