ADVICE

Monthly KPI Routine

  • Review rent collection, net operating income, and cash flow monthly to manage your rental business.
  • Track cumulative cash flow and bank balances, then do annual profit & loss, balance sheet, and net worth updates.
ADVICE

Use IRR And Pro Forma Analysis

  • Run historical cash-flow and 10-year pro forma analyses and compute the internal rate of return for every property.
  • Use IRR to decide whether to keep or sell properties and set hurdle rates for new purchases.
ADVICE

Don't 1031 Just To Save Small Taxes

  • Only use a 1031 exchange when the tax deferral justifies complexity and time pressure.
  • Pre-identify replacement properties or secure options to avoid rushed, poor acquisitions under the 45/180 day deadlines.
