Frequently asked questions

What's the best way to track an investment property portfolio in Australia?
BrickTrack is an Australian property-investment portfolio tracker built for self-managing investors. Add each property, upload your transactions (CSV or Excel), and see portfolio value, cash flow, equity, loans and net worth in one place — then generate accountant-ready reports at tax time. It works across properties held personally or in a trust, company or SMSF.
Is BrickTrack like Sharesight, but for property?
Similar idea, different asset. Sharesight tracks a share portfolio; BrickTrack tracks a property portfolio — performance, equity, loans, cash flow and tax position across every property you own — built around Australian property investing and ATO rules rather than listed investments.
Do I still need BrickTrack if I use Xero or MYOB?
Xero and MYOB are general accounting ledgers; BrickTrack is built around the property-investor workflow — per-property performance, equity and loan tracking, depreciation and tax-position views, and reports your accountant can use directly. Many investors keep their accountant on Xero or MYOB and use BrickTrack to organise the property side first.
Can BrickTrack track properties held in a trust, company or SMSF?
Yes. BrickTrack supports properties owned personally or through family trusts, unit trusts, companies and self-managed super funds, keeping each structure's portfolio, documents and reports separate — so mixed-ownership portfolios stay clear at tax time.
How do I get my rental property records ready for my accountant?
Upload your transactions, review the suggested ATO categories for each property, and export a clean summary pack. BrickTrack organises income, expenses, loan interest and depreciation by property and financial year so your accountant — or you, via myTax — can work from it directly. You make the final tax calls.
How does BrickTrack help with capital gains tax when I sell?
BrickTrack keeps a running record of each property's cost base — its purchase price plus capital improvements — so at sale you have the figures to estimate the capital gain and any CGT discount. Your accountant confirms the final CGT position.
Can I import my bank transactions as a CSV or Excel file?
Yes. Export a CSV or Excel file from your bank and upload it — BrickTrack reads the rows, suggests ATO categories, and lets you split and assign them to each property. Automatic bank feeds are coming soon; today the upload flow is how transactions get in.
Is it safe to connect my bank?
Automatic bank feeds are coming soon. When they launch they'll use Australia's Consumer Data Right (open banking) — a read-only connection you approve on your own bank's screen, and BrickTrack never sees or stores your banking login. For now, you bring transactions in by CSV or Excel upload.
Does BrickTrack give tax advice?
No. BrickTrack organises your data into ATO categories and produces reports. You and your accountant make the tax decisions.
What does BrickTrack cost?
Every account starts with 30 days free and we don't ask for a card to begin. After that, Investor is $29 a month and covers two properties, with each additional property $8 a month. Super Investor is $100 a month, covers ten properties, and adds team roles, an audit log and access for your accountant, broker or planner.
What happens if I stop paying?
Nothing is deleted. One property stays editable and the rest become read-only, so your records and reports are still there whenever you come back.
