Hi everyone, we’re closing in on year-end, which means now is the time to make sure your financials are clean, organized, and up to date.

You don’t need fancy software.You just need enough structure to avoid the “pile of receipts in March” problem that slows so many beginners down.A clean foundation makes everything else easier — getting loans, running numbers, even working with contractors.It also builds the confidence you need to take the next step.So if you’re just starting out, don’t worry about having the perfect deal lined up.Focus on building simple habits that make you feel organized and in control.

It seems that over supply of rental units is working its way out.
