Even if you hold your properties in your personal name rather than an entity, it's a great idea to keep the financials separate for tax filing purposes and for your sanity.Once you've done this, it's way easier to implement a cash flow management system such as Profit First (highly recommend) that allows you to properly budget for reserves, etc.And, of course, it makes it easier to do the same with your personal finances once you no longer have "business" transactions commingled.I'm happy to workshop some of this with you free of charge if you want to go deeper into these topics.I've been through this myself.Just let me know (DM)!

A lot of people when they start with us have no idea if their marketing is successful (and to me, a healthy company should be making around $3 for every $1 spent on marketing over a 6 month span.)
