Cash damming isn't a set-it-and-forget-it strategy

Cash damming needs clean documentation. The mortgage structure matters, but so do the habits after the structure is in place.

The structure is only the start

A rental cash-damming plan is strongest when the lending setup, bank accounts, paper trail, and accountant review all line up.

Common mistakes

Mixing personal and rental cash flow
Failing to document the purpose of borrowed funds
Treating a strategy as tax advice without professional review
Ignoring lender renewal dates and penalties
