613 | How to Run Your Rental Property on Autopilot

 Most investors think they’re buying a property. What they don’t realise is they’re also taking on a small rental business. 

That business generates income, incurs expenses, carries risk and creates ongoing tax, compliance and record-keeping responsibilities. While a great property manager can handle much of the day-to-day work, there are some jobs only the owner can oversee. 

In this practical episode, Ben is joined by Senior Tax Adviser Danish Ahmed and Moorr Product Manager (and fellow property investor) Connor Christie to unpack what it really takes to run an investment property well. 

They unpack: 

• 🔑 What to organise before and immediately after settlement 
• 📂 Which documents you may need to keep for decades 
• 💵 How to stay across rent, expenses and cash flow 
• 🔨 Why repairs and improvements need to be recorded differently 
• 🧾 The information accountants regularly find missing at tax time 
• ⚠️ Which responsibilities still belong to you (and not your property manager) 

Plus, we’re giving you a brand-new free resource to help bring it all together: The Rental Property Owner’s Playbook. If you own an investment property, or plan to, this is your holy grail operating manual.
