How Two Landlords Built The Tool They Desperately Needed

” It’s 11 PM on Sunday. You’re staring at the same Excel spreadsheet for 3 hours. You can’t remember if you recorded that $857 plumbing repair… “

Sound familiar?

This was our reality in 2023. What started as a simple investment strategy had turned into weekend-consuming administrative chaos.

When Success Becomes A Problem

As our portfolio grew from 1 property to 5, and more, the tools that once worked began to break down. We were spending 1 hour per property every month on bookkeeping that should have taken minutes.

Spreadsheet felt too crowded
QuickBooks felt overwhelming for our simple needs
Stessa required hours of manual categorization

The breaking point?

Tax season 2023. After an entire weekend digging through emails and bank statements, we realized we’d missed thousands in deductions simply because we couldn’t find or categorize our expenses.

We Built What We Needed

Between us, we’d built AI systems at Amazon and Google. Yet here we were, manually categorizing $50 receipts like it was 1995.
So we built FourCasa:

Auto organize

Every receipt, invoice, statement

Smart Categorization

No teaching required

Instant Reports

Seconds, not hours

Seamless Workflow

Work with existing tools

The Results

Click for tax rate

Weekend hours lost

100%

Deduction captured

“ Our accountant called to ask what we’d changed because our record has never been so clean”

For the first time in years, we didn’t spend our weekends doing finance.

Built by Landlords, For Landlords

We didn’t build FourCasa for a market opportunity. We built it to survive as small landlords. Every feature exists because we lived the frustration it solves.

Document upload

Because we were tired of losing receipts

Auto categorization

Because we kept mixing repairs with improvements

Anomaly detection

Because we missed 3 months of late payments

Schedule E generation

Because tax season was ruining family time

We built FourCasa because we wanted to spend our free time with family and friends, not with receipts.

But we realized we were still manually importing bank transactions every week.

We added direct bank integration using Plaid, so transactions now flow in automatically, get categorized by AI, and our books update in real-time with custom rules we set up once.
