Real Estate Bookkeeping
Let’s face it. Bookkeeping can be a real drag. When it comes down to doing the bookkeeping for your rental portfolio, do you often wonder if you’re doing it right, or if it’s actually giving you the answers you need to grow your business into an empire? Well, we used to dread doing the bookkeeping for our portfolio. We were, in many ways, even afraid of doing it. We don’t want the same for you, so we decided to do something about it. We created a course, Fast FIRE Bookkeeping for Real Estate Investors, to walk you through everything you need to know when it comes to being the CFO of your own business: from trends, to categorizing, to which software to use (PS thank goodness for QuickBooks ). Turn your fears into freedom.

What We Learned Building Our Business
Building a business is certainly more of a marathon than a sprint. Trust us – if you sprint, you’ll burn out quickly. We started Semi-Retired MD in 2018 as a passion project, and we only made $1,000 in the first year. Today, we are proud to say that we’ve turned it into a multi-million dollar business only a couple of years later. How did we do it, you ask? Check out today’s episode to hear what we learned building our business.
