- 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.
