This community gives you direct access to ask myself (CPA) real-world questions anytime—whether it’s taxes, real estate, or business decisions. I’ll also be launching a dedicated Classroom to learn how to evaluate what a business is truly worth and confidently determine pricing for selling, acquiring, or merging a business. This will be practical, numbers-driven, and built for real decisions—not theory. Have you ever thought about buying a business instead of real estate? Coming soon!

Hey everyone, I wanted to give an update on the software I use as an accountant to manage my rental portfolio. I am not paid for or advertising these, it's simply what works best for me! 1. REI Hub: This software allows me to keep track of all my properties financially, whether as a rental or a remodel. I like the software because it is extremely customizable, very affordable, and offers me easy access across many devices. 2. Doorloop: For a growing investor, having software that will collect rent, allow me to send checks via online, create a vendor list, and list my properties available for rent is extremely useful. This software has allowed me to think long term about my limits of property management. It's extremely easy for me to scale using this software and I highly advice people to use it. 3. Wix - Website: I have incorporated Doorloop into my website. Using Wix has given me the easy access and control to change things online when I need to. These are what I am currently using and love! If you have other recommendations, feel free to comment them below.

We have owned this house for about 3 years, and the renter finally moved out. We will be remodeling it completely and raising rents substantially! Here is our vision for it! We bought this house for $41,900. Something we did to save us cash in pocket…. When we bought the property, we actually increased the purchase price and had the seller pay for a new roof. That way we could throw it on top of a loan instead of paying for the roof cash out of pocket.
