Скачать или смотреть Myths of Real Estate Tax Strategy Exposed

Real estate tax planning is filled with misinformation, and believing the wrong advice can cost you hundreds of thousands (or millions) over time.

In this episode, I break down the biggest myths in real estate tax planning and explain what actually works, based on tax law, real audits, and real client outcomes.

We cover myths like:

• Do you need a real estate license for Real Estate Professional (REP) status?
• Can you only do cost segregation in year one?
• Can real estate losses eliminate all your taxes?
• Is cost segregation a red flag to the IRS?
• Do you need an LLC, holding company, or management company for deductions?
• Does more depreciation always mean better tax planning?
• Can short-term rentals really offset W-2 income with just 7 days and 100 hours?
• If real estate doesn’t reduce your taxes, is it still worth investing?

This episode is for:
• Real estate investors
• High-income W-2 earners
• Business owners
• Anyone confused by online tax “gurus” pushing overly complex or misleading strategies

If you want real clarity instead of marketing hype, this episode will save you from making expensive mistakes.
