Received rent does not tell the whole story
Two properties with the same rent can require very different management effort. A replacement boiler, recurring minor repairs or a vacancy changes the picture. Track outgoing money as carefully as income to understand your portfolio. The aim is not to produce a flattering figure. It is to see recurring items, exceptional costs and problems likely to return.
Explore the relevant sections
Proprioo presents sections for expenses and tasks. For your trial, use a simple fictional case: a reported leak, requested quotation, organised repair and received invoice. Check how you find the information at each stage. Do not assume a closed task automatically means a paid invoice. Keep these states separate in your method even if the interface displays them together.

Distinguish estimates, commitments and payments
An unaccepted quotation is not an incurred expense. An accepted order may not yet be invoiced, and an invoice received is not necessarily paid. Keep these distinctions in your records. For each amount, identify its status and source. When comparing two years, make sure you compare like with like. Otherwise, a major planned but uncompleted project can distort the picture of your expenses.
Connect this with your pre-purchase analysis
A ComparImmo analysis can highlight technical questions to investigate. After a viewing, progressively replace assumptions with quotations and documented observations. Do not turn a working estimate into a building diagnosis. A tradesperson or expert should examine matters requiring inspection. Keep the decision open while an important item remains unpriced. Management records then become a continuation of your acquisition file.
Build a useful history
After work, record what was done, when and with what supporting evidence. This helps prepare the next visit or explain an expense. Use fictional examples when trying Proprioo: the demo stores changes in the browser. Before using real data, check backups and service terms. Retain original invoices independently of your management tool.
