Are you a real estate investor? If so, don’t miss out on potential tax savings. In today’s episode, Gian Pazzia joins Russ and Joey to discuss the benefits of cost segregation and why you should apply it before filing your 2026 taxes. Learn how to accelerate deductions, maximize your savings, and reduce your tax bill, all while taking advantage of new tax laws.
Gian walks us through a detailed case study showing how someone can potentially save tens of thousands of dollars in taxes by doing a cost segregation study in their first year of owning property. He also shares insights on who should apply for cost segregation, the potential risks of missing out on deductions, and how this tax strategy works for different types of properties.

Top three things you will learn:
-How cost segregation can help real estate investors save thousands in taxes
