💰 Identify your income sources. What sources of income will you rely on to fund your rental properties? From rental income to property investments, it's important to understand where your money is coming from.

📊 Determine your expenses. What expenses will you incur as you manage your rental properties? From property taxes and insurance to maintenance and repairs, it's important to identify all of your expenses to create an accurate budget.

📈 Project your income and expenses for the coming year. By forecasting your income and expenses for the coming year, you can create a budget that reflects your business's needs and goals.

💰 Set aside money for unexpected expenses. No matter how well you plan, unexpected expenses can arise. By setting aside money in your budget for these types of expenses, you can be prepared for the unexpected.

💰 Review and adjust your budget regularly. As your business evolves and circumstances change, it's important to regularly review and adjust your budget to ensure that it reflects your current needs and goals. By staying on top of your budget, you'll be well-equipped to navigate the ups and downs of the rental market and achieve your business goals.
