A membership for hands-on landlords
I’m Derek Boehmer. I run a flooring company, and I own rental property in Ontario. This is practical guidance for small landlords and real estate investors — tenant screening, lease agreements, turnovers, and the unglamorous work that keeps a rental cash-flowing. Not a pitch about easy passive income.
Who this is for
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.
What’s inside the membership
Systems, checklists, behind-the-scenes deal breakdowns, a members newsletter, and answers in writing. No live calls.
Repeatable ways to run a rental property, plus checklists you can print or complete on a phone.
How a real job, renovation, or rental decision actually went — the numbers, the mess, and what I’d do again.
Members-only writing on the work of owning rentals, on top of the free newsletter for the open list.
Ask a question and get an answer in writing — not on a call you have to block a Tuesday for.
Everything is written, so you can use it on a weeknight after a job — not on someone else’s Zoom schedule.
The work, in order
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.
Look at a property with clear numbers, not a gut feeling and a social post.
See the true cost of owning it — not just the payment on the listing sheet.
Do the diligence, take possession, and start with a record of the condition.
Plan the work, hire trades when you need them, and keep the scope from drifting.
Screen tenants, get the lease agreement right, and do a proper move-in.
Handle maintenance, communication, and the day-to-day without losing the file.
Inspect at move-out, document the unit, and get it ready to rent again.
Repeat the process so cash flow is something you can run, not a one-off win.

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.

About Derek
For more than 15 years I’ve run Boehmer’s Flooring Ltd. Since 2010 that’s more than 1,000 flooring projects — work I still understand from the subfloor up.
Along the way I bought, renovated, rented, and flipped homes in Ontario. I now have about 10 residential properties, including rentals, renovations, and flips, and roughly $5.275 million in residential real estate. I handle the work myself: tenant screening, the lease agreement, turnovers, and, when I have to, hearings at the Landlord and Tenant Board.
I started Cash Flow Landlords because a lot of real estate investing advice is written for people with property managers and big teams. If you own a rental or two, or you’re trying to get a first unit cash-flowing without losing the plot, this is meant for you.
Questions
It’s a membership and free newsletter for small landlords and real estate investors, run by Derek Boehmer — a contractor turned landlord. The focus is practical rental property systems: how to screen tenants, handle a lease agreement, turn over a unit, and protect cash flow without pretending the work is passive.
A written library: systems and templates, behind-the-scenes deal breakdowns, a monthly members newsletter, and written answers to member questions. There are no live calls. Founding members will also get first access when the full system is ready.
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.
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.
No. The audience is global, mostly in the US and Canada. My own properties and Landlord and Tenant Board experience are in Ontario, and 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.
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.
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.
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.
Coming soon
I’m putting together a founding member group for landlords who want the full system: the checklists and templates, 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.
