On this week’s episode, Avery is joined by Brian Boyd. Brian, a tax attorney and real estate investor, breaks down how the short term rental tax strategy works, explaining how investors can use cost segregation and bonus depreciation to offset active income while building wealth. He emphasizes the importance of self-managing properties, tracking time accurately, and understanding the rules to properly qualify for these tax benefits. The conversation also dives into common mistakes investors make, like overspending on furnishings or prioritizing tax savings over cash flow, and highlights how real estate can be a powerful long-term wealth-building tool when approached strategically.
