Expense Tracking

Frequently asked questions

How does expense tracking work in IONROI?

You log each expense against a specific property, selecting from 10 categories including Maintenance, Utilities, Insurance, Management Fee, Legal, Tax, and Renovation. IONROI aggregates these at both property and portfolio level, generating monthly and year-to-date summaries. All expense data feeds directly into the analytics module so net yield and cash-on-cash ROI calculations reflect actual costs rather than just rental income.

Which IONROI plan includes expense tracking?

Expense tracking is included on all plans. Basic (free, 1 property) covers full expense logging and categorization for a single property. Pro at AED 99/month and Enterprise at AED 299/month extend this across 10 or unlimited properties, with the analytics module (Pro and above) incorporating expenses into automated ROI calculations.

Which property expenses do landlords most commonly underestimate?

Service charges and community fees are frequently overlooked in yield calculations, particularly in high-rise or master-planned communities where annual charges can be substantial. Periodic renovation and refurbishment costs between tenancies are another common blind spot. Accounting for these accurately is the difference between gross yield and net yield, and the gap is often 1.5-3 percentage points.

How does IONROI's expense tracking compare to managing costs in a spreadsheet?

A spreadsheet can record expenses but requires you to manually categorize, total, and link costs to the right property before pulling figures into any ROI formula. IONROI applies categorization at entry, aggregates automatically, and passes all expense data into yield calculations in real time, so your net yield figures are always current without any additional formula maintenance.
