Everyone talks about finding deals, networking, and learning how to analyze properties — and yes, those matter.But the most underrated skill I’ve seen in successful investors is simple:Paying attention to the details after closing.That means:Tracking every expense from day one.Separating business and personal accounts.Understanding what counts as a repair vs. an improvement.Keeping organized records so your CPA doesn’t have to guess.It’s not glamorous, but those details are what protect your profits.I’ve seen investors crush their first few deals… only to get hit with avoidable tax bills or missed deductions later because they didn’t have a system.You don’t need to know everything at once — just treat your portfolio like a real business early on.Deals make you money.Good systems let you keep it.
