Hi, I’m Corey Perkins, and I run Rental Money Playbook from Ohio.
Rental Money Playbook is an independent site with practical guides and spreadsheets for small landlords and short-term rental hosts. The focus is money, taxes, and recordkeeping: what to track during the year, how common IRS forms and deductions work in plain English, and how to hand a cleaner set of numbers to a tax preparer.
Topics I cover include:
- Rental income, expenses, and Schedule E recordkeeping
- Mileage and other deductions for rental activity
- Forms 1099 when you pay contractors
- Simple trackers and logs you can use in a spreadsheet
A note about advice
I’m not a CPA, enrolled agent, attorney, financial planner, investment adviser, or tax preparer, and I don’t prepare tax returns for anyone. Everything on this site is for general educational purposes only. It isn’t tax, legal, or financial advice, and your situation may be different. Where I can, I point you to primary sources such as IRS.gov so you can check the details yourself. For decisions that matter, please talk with a qualified professional.
How the site makes money
Rental Money Playbook is free to read. I plan to sell practical spreadsheets, starting with a Rental Income & Expense Tracker (Essentials), coming soon. The site has no ads and no affiliate links at launch. In the future, it may include affiliate links, which means I may earn a commission if you sign up for or buy something through certain links, at no extra cost to you. If that happens, I’ll tell you clearly in the post.
