real estate taxes

The biggest real estate tax deduction is coming back. That’s right—100% bonus depreciation is almost cleared for a triumphant return as the House pushed a new tax bill to the Senate, one that includes some massive tax deduction potential for real estate investors and everyday Americans alike. So, why is this SUCH a big deal? We’ve got Brandon Hall, CPA, on to break down why bonus depreciation could save you tens, if not hundreds, of thousands of dollars. Everyone knows that real estate boasts some of the best tax benefits of any investment in the nation. But, the one tax benefit to rule them all is almost always depreciation. This tax write-off lets you expense a portion of your property every year and can turn your real-life gain into a paper loss, so you keep your cash flow while avoiding taxes. But bonus depreciation is like regular depreciation on steroids. And the tax benefits can be massive. So, how do you take advantage of this huge tax write-off? What do you need to know BEFORE you take it? And should you hold off on filing before this new bill passes? We’ve got answers to all that and much more in this episode, so stick around! In This Episode We Cover: Four of the hottest housing markets in 2024 that we’d flip houses or long-term invest in The high-priced coastal market that we love…but wouldn’t buy rentals in A snowy northeast market that has low prices and big rent-by-the-room potential  A sleeper city with a big price tag but solid investing benefits The not-so-sexy market that made the number-one spot and surprised us all Unemployment rates, home prices, average rents, and top metrics you MUST check before investing And So Much More!

What’s the key to paying fewer taxes? A cost segregation study. Never heard of it? Most real estate investors haven’t, but we’re about to unlock a world of tax-free income earning using this specific tool. If you’ve wondered how the wealthy pay such few taxes while owning million-dollar-producing real estate, this is how.

When you think of creative finance, you think of Pace Morby. He didn’t invent creative finance, seller financing, or subject to investing. Instead, he perfected it, buying deals often with zero dollars down, low (or no) interest, and with terms any investor would dream of. But maybe you don’t know what creative finance is. Maybe the terms “seller financing” or “subject to” have never been mentioned to you before. As Pace describes in this episode, this industry-wide ignorance of creative finance is by design and keeps you from building wealth. To Pace, creative finance is the ultimate key to building a big rental property portfolio. But most sellers, buyers, and real estate agents don’t know about it. Describe creative finance to a regular realtor, and you’ll get laughed out of the listing. But, bring it up to a buyer, and suddenly everything changes. Don’t believe us? Pace brings up numerous examples in today’s show of how he was able to get real estate deals done that agents and realtors alike thought impossible. In this episode, you’ll get a complete intro to creative finance. Pace runs through the definitions, how each strategy works, why NOBODY talks about creative financing, and how YOU can start investing today (yes, TODAY!) with zero dollars out of your pocket and even with limited experience. Ready to start your rental portfolio? Tune in and get your copy of Pace’s new book, Wealth without Cash, today!  In This Episode We Cover: How Pace Morby buys multifamily real estate for NO MONEY out of pocket  Pace’s new BiggerPockets book that’ll help you get your first creative finance deal done  Seller financing explained and using it when a seller won’t budge on purchase price  The “subject to” strategy and how to lock in a rock-bottom mortgage rate even in 2023 Underwriting a real estate deal and seller lies that can often trick an inexperienced buyer Tax benefits of creative financing and how it makes a win-win for you and a buyer  The risks of subject to and seller financing and how to EASILY avoid them  And So Much More!

Non-investors hate real estate tax loopholes. It always seems like the wealthiest landlords, apartment owners, or short-term rental hosts walk away with not only massive income but little-to-no tax bills at the end of the year. Are investors unethically avoiding taxes OR are they carefully, quietly using the tax code to build wealth and bring their tax burden down to zero? And if the big investors can do it, can average investors use the same strategies? Whether you own one, ten, or a thousand rental units, Matt Bontrager, CPA at TrueBooks, has a solution for you. He’s been working with real estate investors for years to help them minimize their tax burdens and maximize their portfolio values. And unlike most CPAs, Matt can explain these strategies in a way that excites you, instead of slowly lulling you into a depreciation-induced dream. Matt touches on the most powerful ways to eliminate your taxes in 2022. These tax strategies work for almost every type of investor, whether you’ve got a full-blown business or just a short-term rental side hustle. These tax tactics, when used correctly, can allow you to walk away from 2022 with a bigger refund, no tax bill, or years’ worth of losses to roll over so you walk into 2023 in a better reposition than ever before. In This Episode We Cover: The massive short-term rental tax “loophole” most investors are unaware of Tax preparers vs. advisors and when you should start hiring these team members Cost segregation studies and using them to eliminate years’ worth of tax bills Bonus depreciation write-offs and why every investor MUST take advantage of this before the end of the year Real estate professional status, its benefits, and what you need to do to obtain it Tax avoidance strategies the wealthy use that almost any investor can mimic And So Much More!
