Start with the annual rent flow
The core records are rent received, management fees, repairs, insurance, property tax, loan interest, and withholding records. A clean annual statement from the property manager can reduce review time.
Keep evidence behind each number
A summary alone is not enough. Keep invoices, statements, receipts, and bank records so the filing can be supported if questions arise later.
Send files before the paid consultation
A pre-consultation file list helps determine whether the case fits the standard package or needs a complex-case quote.
