EP459 Building Your Wealth through Alternative Assets with Denis Shapiro Oct 14, 2024

Show notes

A lot of people consider real estate investing to be an alternative form of investment. To traditional stock/bond/mutual fund investors, real estate can seem quite risky and exotic.

But once you enter that space and learn to mitigate those risks and find the profit potential, a whole new world of alternative investments will present themselves. I'm talking about alternative investments such as notes, ATM funds, mobile home parks, life insurance policies, tech start-ups, industrial properties, short-term rentals, and LIHTC affordable housing communities.

Denis Shapiro is the author of "The Alternative Investment Almanac – Expert Insights on Building Personal Wealth in Non-Traditional Ways", and he's here today to share his insights from some of the most successful alternative asset investors in the business today.

EP452 Real Estate Tax Strategies You've Never Heard Before with Shauna The Tax Goddess Aug 26, 2024

Show notes

It always amazes me how many real estate investors are still doing their own year-end taxes, or they're working with a tax preparer who doesn't specialize in real estate.

While hiring an expert to do your taxes can be expensive, it's much preferable to the alternative, which is not maximizing the powerful tax benefits you receive from investing in real estate.

My guest today is a profit first accountant who has saved her clients over $1 billion in taxes.

Shauna The Tax Goddess is going to share the top tax saving strategies for real estate investors. We'll be discussing cost segregation, real estate professional status, and the differences between short-term rental and long-term rental taxation.

Shauna is also going to share some strategies that many investors aren't even aware of, such as paying your children, renting out your personal residence for less than 14 days tax-free, and writing off your dog.
