Investor Spotlight: Mike and Renee: Discovering the True Freedom in Becoming Financially Free

Summary: The goal of our Investor Spotlight series is to provide you with stories of real physicians and professionals who are at different points in their journey to financial freedom through real estate investing. At Semi-Retired MD, we love to share many perspectives and learn from others’ experiences along the way. Today’s spotlight is on investor couple Mike and Renee who live in Austin, Texas with their three small children. Mike is a Family Medicine doctor who has been practicing for six years, and Renee is a fundraiser for Dell Medical School. Both work full-time and are busy parents who have prioritized becoming financially free through their real estate investment journey. Motivated to find an additional source of income after suffering COVID burnout and stress during the Summer of 2020, they took Zero to Freedom. Today they have two long-term rentals, as well as a short-term rental in the hot Austin market! They acquired their short-term rental after 6 months of persistence and negotiation. They nicknamed their short-term rental “Giving Tree,” after the popular children’s book, and since the property just keeps on giving. The couple hope it will continue to give to their family for years to come as

bookkeeping for rental business

Fast FIRE Bookkeeping for Real Estate Investors

[photo credit: Christina Tran] Summary: For many business owners, bookkeeping isn’t something you embrace. It’s something to avoid and maybe even run from. That’s how it was for me for many years. It wasn’t until more recently that I realized how powerful a tool it can be for growing your rental business if done correctly. I also realized that there were very few people out there who could teach me how to do it the right way. So we collaborated with bookkeepers and accountants to develop a course that would teach me how to get my books done correctly the first time. Our course launches on October 2nd!

turnkey rentals

Turnkey Rentals Won’t Make You Rich

Do turnkey rentals make you rich? Short answer: no. They can throw off modest cash flow, but a turnkey company captures the two biggest wealth levers — immediate and forced appreciation — before selling to you at retail. In a stress test of a real new-construction pro forma, a marketed +$266/month became a −$317/month loss once realistic costs were added. Summary: We often get the question from our readers: should I buy a turnkey rental? Will it help me build wealth quickly? In this post, we cover what turnkey rentals actually are (including the newer new-construction and build-to-rent packages that have become popular in the last few years), who sells them, and the hidden downsides that don’t show up until after you’ve already bought one. We even show real, stress-tested numbers on a real turnkey rental pro forma. (Hint: turnkey rentals won’t make you rich, and here’s the math on why.) If you’ve been following us, you know that our blog is dedicated to helping YOU achieve financial freedom quickly through cashflowing rentals, something we call Fast FIRE. We’ve even created a System and a Course to teach you the exact methods we used to achieve financial freedom in less
