Profit First for Real Estate Investors with David Richter

As an entrepreneur, you deserve to keep the money that you make. This is a core concept in my business and many other fractional CFOs and financial professionals agree. David Richter is a friend that I recently met at a conference whose business beliefs align closely with mine so I asked him to come on the show and share his philosophy. David, like me, believes that your business should allow you to do the things that you enjoy in life and that setting yourself up using the proper framework is the best way to achieve this.

David Richter is the author of Profit First for Real Estate Investing - a derivative of the original Profit First by Mike Michalowicz that is tailored specifically to Real Estate Investors. His goal is to completely transform the Real Estate Investing industry by helping real estate investors make and KEEP more money in their businesses. As the founder and owner of SimpleCFO Solutions, he wants to bring investors true financial clarity and freedom and help every investor stop living deal to deal.
