Keep Good Property Records

Another area that everyone dreads is an audit by a government agency, particularly the Internal Revenue Service. The best way to prepare for an audit is to create and maintain you investment records consistently and accurately. Keep all tax returns, property management reports, maintenance records, financial receipts, and property documents organized in one place where you can easily retrieve and review them if you have an audit. Maintain them yearly and when you need this information you will have it for any situation, such as an audit or sale of the property. It is much easier to maintain files than try to recreate them later. In Addition they will probably be more accurate.
