Manage episode 429337246 series 3019554
You've heard the saying "multiple streams of income," but what about multiple streams of passive income?
Real estate offers a variety of options, from single-family homes to apartment buildings, and today we're joined by two experts to break it all down.
Dirk Zeller, CEO of Real Estate Champions, has experience with all types of real estate investments, from single-family homes to small plexes, apartments, and commercial properties.
Rob Levy, who has been in the real estate business since 1988, is brilliant with his investing strategy and knowledge. Some of the earliest advice he received was that you can make a lot of money selling real estate, but you can make more investing in real estate.
We dive into real estate investment strategies from every angle, including single-family homes, multi-family homes, and commercial investments.
While cash flow is crucial, we also explore the significant tax savings and depreciation benefits that come with strategically structured investments.
Our experts break down concepts like cost segregation, explaining how it allows for a large one-time depreciation deduction that can substantially reduce taxable income for real estate professionals.
We compare the pros and cons of investing in certain properties. Single-family homes may offer better appreciation, while multifamily properties can provide more consistent cash flow and lower acquisition costs per unit.
No discussion would be complete without tackling tenant and property management along with location strategies.
We explore the benefits of using self-directed retirement accounts (SDRAs) for real estate investments, showing how investors can defer taxes and potentially grow wealth tax-free.
Our experts also shed light on partnering strategies, obtaining non-recourse loans, and navigating IRS regulations to ensure compliance.
We discuss market insights, from tax laws to managing investments, including practical advice for new and seasoned investors.
This podcast provides a comprehensive overview of real estate investment strategies, emphasizing the importance of education, strategic planning, and leveraging tax benefits.
Join us as we unpack these critical topics and more with Dirk Zeller and Rob Levy. This is an episode you won't want to miss!
