Max Emory shares how real estate investors can simplify bookkeeping, avoid IRS headaches, and create “decision-ready” financials to grow their profits.

In this episode of RealDealChat, Jack Hoss sits down with Max Emory, founder of Time Capital Bookkeeping, to discuss how real estate investors can master their numbers, avoid tax-time chaos, and make smarter decisions using clean, actionable financials.

Max started as a real estate investor and Marine Corps officer, scaled to 25 units, and then built a bookkeeping firm focused exclusively on investors. His team helps clients eliminate messy books, create clear KPIs, and turn data into better deal decisions.

Here’s what you’ll learn in this conversation:

• Why most investors fail to track accurate deal performance
• How “decision-ready” financials help you grow faster and smarter
• The biggest bookkeeping mistakes investors make (and how to fix them)
• When creative financing & short-term rentals complicate accounting
• KPIs every flipper, landlord, and wholesaler should monitor
• How to make sense of your data to double profitability
• Why AI and automation are revolutionizing real estate bookkeeping
• The right way to use VAs—and when to hire a trained REI bookkeeper
• Simple systems to prepare for tax season without stress
• 50% off bookkeeping cleanup before year-end (details below)
