Real Estate

Own rental property the way the tax code rewards it

This track takes a landlord from the first Schedule E to a tax-free exchange. It leads with real estate professional status and the short-term rental rules, and surrounds them with the fundamentals those strategies depend on: depreciation, cost segregation, and the math of selling.

Landlords, house hackers, and investors with one to twenty doors.

This track is for you if

  • You own one to twenty rental doors
  • Your rental losses are stuck and cannot offset your wages
  • You are buying, refinancing, or selling in the next twelve months

How the track builds

  1. 01

    Start with filing a rental correctly and taking every deduction you are owed

  2. 02

    Turn depreciation and cost segregation into paper losses

  3. 03

    Unlock those losses through real estate professional status or a short-term rental

  4. 04

    Finish with 1031 exchanges and the real tax bill on a sale
