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
- 01
Start with filing a rental correctly and taking every deduction you are owed
- 02
Turn depreciation and cost segregation into paper losses
- 03
Unlock those losses through real estate professional status or a short-term rental
- 04
Finish with 1031 exchanges and the real tax bill on a sale
