Hostfolio is for anyone who owns or is considering buying rental property and wants to:
- Keep income and expenses in one place without spreadsheets.
- See key numbers (yields, cash flow) at a glance.
- Prepare clean exports for tax declarations or an accountant.
- Run “what if” scenarios before buying (price, mortgage, occupancy, etc.).
No accounting degree required. The app guides you step by step.
If something is unclear or you run into a problem, check the FAQ first. You can also use the Help menu (question mark icon) in the app for support and documentation links.
