About BorderBird
The only landlord software built specifically for property owners who file with both the Canada Revenue Agency and the Internal Revenue Service.
Why BorderBird exists
Existing rental property software splits into two camps: tools built for US landlords (Stessa, REI Hub) and tools built for Canadian landlords. Neither handles the case where the same property triggers obligations on both sides of the border.
BorderBird is built for the audience the existing tools ignore: Canadian residents with US rental property, US residents with Canadian rental property, and snowbirds who own on both sides. Gmail-based rent import, dual-currency P&L, NR4 reporting-month calculation, Schedule E line mapping, and CRA Part XIII withholding tracking — all in one ledger.
Editorial standards
- Named authorship. Every guide is written by a named author, not anonymous templates. Author bios link to a profile page with background and contact information.
- Sourced claims. Every factual statement about CRA, IRS, or Bank of Canada rules links to the authoritative source. We do not paraphrase tax rules without a citation.
- Honest about scope. BorderBird is not a tax advisor. Every guide includes a prominent disclaimer recommending you consult a qualified cross-border CPA for advice specific to your situation.
- Updated, not abandoned. Tax rules and exchange rates change annually. We re-review guides each tax year and timestamp the last review date on every page.
Team
Built BorderBird after years of running rental properties on both sides of the Canada-US border and finding no software that handled both tax systems together.
