David Richter on Living Off Rentals by Kirby Atwell
February 3, 2022
One of the biggest real estate investing mistakes is avoiding dealing with the finances.
Often, real estate investors have that one big melting pot bank account where everything goes, and it's very easy to spend everything inside there with no goals, clarity, or control over their decisions.
When you make money, it's natural to feel the need to reward yourself for your hard work, and that's perfectly ok. What's not ok is unknowingly spending almost the same amount as what you're earning, and ending up feeling like your business is not benefiting you at all.
Seeing your business growing but not knowing where the money is going is a big question. It should be an eye-opener. How are you managing your money? Do you make a regular financial checks in your business? If so, what do the numbers tell you?
In today's episode, David Richter talks about understanding the power of finances in his business.
Listen as he shares his secrets for finding clarity in numbers to keep up with cash flow management in business and be in control of your finances. He also discusses the secret to creating a more profitable system while also balancing how much you should be paying yourself from your business.
