A membership for hands-on landlords

Cash flow systems for landlords who still do the work.

I’m Derek Boehmer. This is a written membership with the tools I built to run my own rentals — so you spend less time trying to remember what’s needed from start to finish. Not a pitch about easy passive income.

Built for small landlords, not for spectators

If you own a rental or you’re buying the first one, you need systems you can actually run — not a lecture, and not a “set it and forget it” story.

A good fit if

  • You own a rental or two, or you’re buying your first rental property
  • You want written systems for tenant screening, the lease agreement, and turnovers
  • You do the work yourself, or you direct the trades
  • You care more about cash flow and fewer surprises than about sounding like a guru

Not a fit if

  • You’re looking for a shortcut to easy passive income
  • You want someone else to manage the property for you
  • You’re after weekly live calls and a Zoom mastermind
  • You want legal or financial advice in place of your own local professional

I built the tools I couldn’t find

After I got into rental properties, I found it was hard to find current RTA agreements — the standard leases under Ontario’s Residential Tenancies Act. I didn’t have checklists for move-ins and move-outs. So I came up with everything I needed.

Since then I’ve grown. I’m more productive, and I spend less time trying to remember what’s needed from start to finish. I’ve been in the housing and rental market for decades, and for more than 15 years I’ve also been a business owner. I now have about 10 residential properties in Ontario, including rentals, renovations, and flips. I handle the work myself: tenant screening, the lease, turnovers, and, when I have to, hearings at the Landlord and Tenant Board.

The struggles of being a landlord are real. I built Cash Flow Landlords to hand you the tools that make the work easier — so you can run your rentals without piecing it together from scratch.

What you actually get

Here’s what each item on that list really is. Everything is written, so you can use it on your own time. No live calls.

Move-in and move-out checklists

Room-by-room condition inspections for move-in and move-out, plus screening, seasonal maintenance, and turnover checklists you can print or complete on a phone. A public version of the move-out checklist is free on this page; members get the full set.

Income and expense spreadsheets

A workbook for the money side of a rental: a rent ledger, an expense tracker, and an annual summary so you can see what each unit is actually doing — income in, costs out, and the year-end picture.

RTAs and guidance

Help finding and using current Ontario Residential Tenancies Act agreements and the standard lease, plus notes from my own Landlord and Tenant Board hearings. This is practical guidance from my experience — not legal advice, and not a substitute for the official forms or a local professional.

Tenant screening

A consistent process and scorecard so you apply the same criteria to every applicant — from the first enquiry through a decision — instead of relying on gut feel.

Maintenance tracking

A way to log repairs, run a seasonal maintenance checklist, and catch small problems before they become expensive ones — so the day-to-day work doesn’t live in a pile of texts and memory.

Members-only newsletter

Members-only writing each month on the work of owning rentals, on top of the free newsletter for the open list.

Written answers to your questions

Ask a question and get an answer in writing — not on a call you have to block a Tuesday for.

Behind-the-scenes deal breakdowns

How a real job, renovation, or rental decision actually went — the numbers, the mess, and what I’d do again.

The investor lifecycle this is built around

Owning a rental is a loop, not a single purchase. The membership is organized around the full cycle — from the first look at a deal through a clean turnover and the next door.

  1. 01

    Find

    Look at a property with clear numbers, not a gut feeling and a social post.

  2. 02

    Finance

    See the true cost of owning it — not just the payment on the listing sheet.

  3. 03

    Buy

    Do the diligence, take possession, and start with a record of the condition.

  4. 04

    Fix

    Plan the work, hire trades when you need them, and keep the scope from drifting.

  5. 05

    Rent

    Screen tenants, get the lease agreement right, and do a proper move-in.

  6. 06

    Manage

    Handle maintenance, communication, and the day-to-day without losing the file.

  7. 07

    Turn over

    Inspect at move-out, document the unit, and get it ready to rent again.

  8. 08

    Grow

    Repeat the process so cash flow is something you can run, not a one-off win.

Page 1 of the Cash Flow Landlords Move-Out Condition Inspection Checklist

The move-out checklist I actually use

Before a tenant leaves — or before you take over a unit — you want a clear record of the property’s condition. This short Move-Out / Condition Inspection Checklist is a room-by-room list with photo prompts.

It’s a public version of the inspection checklist in the system I’m building for small landlords. Leave your email and I’ll send it to you. You’ll also hear when the founding membership opens. Unsubscribe anytime.

FAQ

What is Cash Flow Landlords?

It’s a written membership and free newsletter for small landlords and real estate investors, run by Derek Boehmer. The focus is practical rental tools: checklists, income and expense spreadsheets, Ontario RTA guidance, and the unglamorous work of screening tenants, turning over a unit, and protecting cash flow — without pretending the work is passive.

What’s included in the membership?

Move-in and move-out checklists, income and expense spreadsheets, Ontario RTA lease guidance, tenant screening, maintenance tracking, a monthly members newsletter, written answers to member questions, and behind-the-scenes deal breakdowns. There are no live calls. Founding members will also get first access when the full system is ready.

Are there live calls?

No. Everything is written, so you can use it on your own schedule — including a weeknight after a job. If you have a question, you ask it in writing and get an answer in writing.

When does the membership open?

Soon. I’m finishing the founding member window now. The free newsletter and the move-out checklist stay free either way. Join the waitlist or grab the checklist and you’ll hear first when founding spots open. I won’t invent a date here and then miss it.

Is this only for Ontario or Canadian landlords?

No. The audience is global, mostly in the US and Canada. My own properties and Landlord and Tenant Board experience are in Ontario, and the RTA lease guidance is Ontario-specific. I’ll say so when a detail is local. Landlord-tenant law differs by country, state, province, and city, so you still need to check the rules where your property is located.

What’s in the free checklist?

A short Move-Out / Condition Inspection Checklist: a room-by-room list with photo prompts, plus a simple way to record the condition of a unit at move-in and again at move-out. It’s a public version of the inspection checklist in the system I’m building.

Is this legal or financial advice?

No. Everything on this site and in the membership is general information and education. It is not legal, tax, or financial advice. When you need advice, speak with a qualified professional where your property is located.

How do I join the founding waitlist?

Use the waitlist button on this page once the membership page is live, or email [email protected]. If you download the free checklist, you’ll also be on the list that hears first.

Membership coming soon

I’m putting together a founding member group for landlords who want the full system: the checklists, spreadsheets, and RTA guidance, plus members-only behind-the-scenes writing on real turnovers and deals. Founding members will be invited first.

The waitlist button is a placeholder until the membership page is ready. Replace [SKOOL LINK] with your Skool URL.
