Setting Up Rental Income Tracking in Excel

Step-by-Step Process:

  1. 1. Convert all bank statements where rental deposits are received
    (Usually your personal checking or dedicated rental property account)
  2. 2. Filter for rental deposit transactions
    Use Excel filter to show credits only. Search for tenant names, Zelle, Venmo, or property management company.
  3. 3. Add "Property Address" column
    Tag each rental deposit with property address (123 Main St, 456 Oak Ave, etc.)
  4. 4. Create monthly summary
    Use pivot table to sum rental income by property and month
  5. 5. Calculate key metrics
    Occupancy rate, average rent collected, late payments, vacancy periods

DSCR Loans for Investment Properties

DSCR (Debt Service Coverage Ratio) loans are revolutionizing real estate investing. These non-QM loans qualify you based on property cash flow, not personal income—perfect for investors with multiple properties or those who write off income via tax deductions.

What is DSCR?

DSCR = Monthly Rental Income ÷ Monthly Debt Payment (PITIA: Principal, Interest, Taxes, Insurance, HOA)

Example: Rent = $2,500/mo, PITIA = $2,000/mo → DSCR = 1.25
Most lenders require DSCR ≥ 1.0-1.25 to qualify

DSCR Loan Documentation Requirements

DSCR lenders require proof of rental income. Bank statements are the most common documentation method:

  • 12-24 months bank statements showing rental deposits
    Lenders want to see consistent income over time
  • Rental income calculation worksheet
    Sum all rental deposits, divide by months, calculate average
  • Property address identification
    Match deposits to specific property being financed
  • Lease agreement (current)
    Supports monthly rent amount shown in bank statements

How to Calculate DSCR from Bank Statements

Example Scenario:

Investor wants to buy rental property at 789 Elm Street. Needs DSCR loan. Here's how to document income:

Step 1: Convert 12 months of statements

Upload statements from account where rent is deposited → Download Excel files

Step 2: Identify rental deposits for THIS property

Filter Excel for tenant name or Zelle/Venmo payments:

Jan: $2,400
Feb: $2,400
Mar: $2,400
...
Dec: $2,400
Total: $28,800 ÷ 12 = $2,400/month average

Step 3: Calculate proposed PITIA

Purchase price: $350,000
Down payment (20%): $70,000
Loan amount: $280,000
Interest rate: 7.5%
P&I payment: ~$1,958/month
Taxes + Insurance: ~$400/month
Total PITIA: $2,358/month

Step 4: Calculate DSCR

$2,400 rent ÷ $2,358 PITIA = DSCR of 1.02

✅ Qualifies for DSCR loan (most lenders require 1.0+)

Popular DSCR Lenders

• Visio Lending (DSCR specialist)
• Kiavi (formerly LendingHome)
• Lima One Capital
• Anchor Loans
• RCN Capital
• CoreVest Finance

Note: DSCR loan rates are typically 1-2% higher than conventional mortgages, but no personal income verification required.

Portfolio Performance Analysis

Successful investors track metrics across their entire portfolio. Converting bank statements to Excel enables powerful analysis:

Key Metrics to Track

1. Cash-on-Cash Return

Annual cash flow ÷ Total cash invested

Use Excel to track rental income minus all expenses, divided by down payment + closing costs

2. Occupancy Rate

Months with rent ÷ 12 months

Count months with rental deposits in Excel. 10/12 = 83% occupancy

3. Actual vs. Pro Forma Income

Compare projected rent to actual deposits

Filter rental deposits by property, compare to original purchase projections

4. Late Payment Tracking

% of rent received after 5th of month

Sort deposits by date. Flag any after your lease due date. Identifies problem tenants.

5. Repair & Maintenance Costs

Annual maintenance ÷ Rental income

Filter bank debits for contractors, Home Depot, etc. Calculate % of gross rent.

6. Property Management Performance

If using PM, track rent collection efficiency

Compare months managed by PM company vs. self-managed. Analyze if fees are worth it.

Creating a Portfolio Dashboard in Excel

After converting bank statements, create a master tracking spreadsheet:

  1. Tab 1: Property List
    Address, purchase price, loan amount, monthly payment, target rent
  2. Tab 2: Rental Income (from converted statements)
    All rental deposits with property tags and dates
  3. Tab 3: Expenses (from converted statements)
    Mortgage payments, repairs, insurance, taxes, utilities
  4. Tab 4: Monthly Summary
    Pivot table showing income vs. expenses by property by month
  5. Tab 5: Annual Dashboard
    KPIs: Total portfolio value, total cash flow, average DSCR, occupancy rates

Tax Strategy & Schedule E Preparation

Rental property investors file Schedule E (Supplemental Income and Loss) to report rental income and expenses. Bank statement conversion makes tax prep dramatically easier.

Schedule E Requirements

For each rental property, you must report:

Income:

  • • Rents received
  • • Other income (late fees, pet rent)

Expenses:

  • • Mortgage interest
  • • Property taxes
  • • Insurance
  • • Repairs & maintenance
  • • Utilities
  • • Property management fees
  • • HOA fees
  • • Advertising for tenants
  • • Legal & professional fees
  • • Depreciation

Using Bank Statements for Tax Prep

  1. 1. Convert full year of bank statements
    Both accounts where rent is deposited AND accounts where expenses are paid
  2. 2. Add "Property" and "Tax Category" columns
    Tag every transaction with property address and Schedule E line item
  3. 3. Create pivot table by property and category
    Automatically sum all expenses by Schedule E category
  4. 4. Transfer totals to tax software or give to CPA
    Clean Excel summary = faster (cheaper) tax preparation

Tax Deduction Maximization Tip:

Excel makes it easy to find deductible expenses you might miss: credit card annual fees for rental property cards, mileage to properties (use dates from bank statements to document trips), home office allocation if you manage properties yourself, etc.

1031 Exchange Documentation

1031 exchanges allow investors to defer capital gains taxes by reinvesting sale proceeds into new properties. Bank statements are critical documentation for intermediaries and the IRS.

What is a 1031 Exchange?

Section 1031 of the tax code allows you to sell a rental property and buy another "like-kind" property without paying capital gains taxes immediately. The proceeds must be held by a qualified intermediary and reinvested within strict timelines (45 days to identify, 180 days to close).

Why Bank Statements Matter for 1031s

  • Document sale proceeds
    Track wire transfer from title company to intermediary. Proves you didn't touch the money.
  • Verify reinvestment
    Show funds transferred from intermediary to title company for replacement property purchase.
  • Prove no "boot" received
    "Boot" = any cash or debt relief you receive. Must be fully reinvested to avoid taxes. Bank records prove no cash left the exchange.
  • IRS audit support
    If audited, clean Excel records showing wire transfers and timelines are invaluable.
  • Creating 1031 Documentation Package

    Convert bank statements covering the exchange period. Create Excel summary showing:

    • ✓ Sale closing date and wire transfer to intermediary
    • ✓ 45-day identification deadline date
    • ✓ Purchase closing date and wire transfer from intermediary
    • ✓ Total exchange value (must reinvest equal or greater amount)
    • ✓ Additional cash contributed (if any)
    • ✓ Timeline compliance verification

    Pro Tip: Keep this Excel file with your tax records. If the IRS questions the exchange in year 5, you'll have clean documentation ready.
