Would like to see a tab added for a place to record hours worked on each property. It is a requirement for the IRS to keep track of hours seems logical to record it here with everything else.

@mapking1 Interesting idea! How often would you record your hours? Weekly or monthly? Do you have a process for tracking these now?

I am thinking weekly. With at least four properties I would log hours every visit once a month so at least once a week. Right now I have to manually log them.

Having someplace to record hours would be useful for me too. I keep track of hours in Toggl, which works great, but it would be great to be able to upload the data into Stessa to have it all in one place. I record time every day as I work on RE tasks – I start the timer in Toggl with a property and a task, then tap the button to stop when I’m done. It has reports available in the app, and by weekly email. At the end of the year I just download it all into a CSV file and read in Google Sheets.

I would also love to have this. I actually made the request and I was directed to this thread. I spent a lot of time doing various tasks at various properties and it would be amazing to know how many hours a week I actually spend, what I’m doing there, and then report it later. It’s very difficult as I don’t exactly invoice myself (though maybe I should). Really the question is, how much of a job did I buy vs. how much of an investment did I buy. And was it worth it to do myself or should I have gone to work overtime at my W-2 job and paid a contractor. Stessa is really a fantastic upgrade from Intuit Self Employed for a lot of reasons but there has to be faster upgrades and support. I used to pay $9.99/mo for a service that is 1/3 as useful. If 9.99 meant upgrade and improvements requests at a faster rate, then please, take my CC#.

There have been good suggestions, I would add that one a space to manually enter this info but two an option to automatically log hours within the program as work within Stressa is RE activity as is calling tenants tracking down rent taking calls for repairs calling and contacting vendors. When up loading a receipt or logging miles would correspond with RE activity. The time it took to drive to properties or store or errands. So there is multiple places this could be recorded and rolled up to one report. Thanks for considering.
Hello! Found this thread and we’re sincerely hoping that perhaps the feature is still under consideration as described. Any word? Thanks.

Just found this thread, but would really appreciate the time tracker in Stessa so I don’t have to use another app. I love Stessa and this would be a great added feature!

I came here to vote for this one - I see it’s years old. Any update from developers as to if it’s been put on a roadmap?
Any update on the request of giving a provision to log the hours.

Yes, stessa needs to add app features to log and classify hours for real estate professional status for irs purposes. This would add huge value for the app.

Hi, has this feature been added? I’m curious if Stessa supports tracking hours for Real Estate Professional status IRS tax reporting as well.
Why can’t we track hours from the app just like we can track miles. Same drop down from the + button, just add hours as an option… please add!
