In This Episode:
In Part 2 of our series on tax strategies for real estate investors, Yonah Weiss breaks down cost segregation—a powerful but underutilized tool that can significantly reduce taxable income by accelerating depreciation. Yonah explains how cost segregation works, the benefits for real estate professionals, audit considerations, and common mistakes to avoid.
3 Key Takeaways:
- Front-Load Your Tax Savings: Cost segregation lets you write off big depreciation early—boosting cash flow and slashing taxes when it matters most.
- Use Pros or Pay the Price: DIY cost seg = audit risk. The wealthy hire experts who follow IRS rules and unlock every legal advantage.
- Wealth Is Strategy, Not Luck: High-level investors study the tax code and use it. They don’t guess—they play offense and reinvest savings to scale fast.
If you want to learn more or need guidance on how to implement these strategies, don’t hesitate to reach out to experts like Yonah Weiss or connect with real estate-savvy CPAs.
Until next time, keep educating yourself, stay strategic, and keep breaking away from the ordinary.
