In this episode of Commercial Real Estate Thursdays, we’re diving into one of the most powerful tax-saving strategies in commercial real estate: Bonus Depreciation.

We’ll explain what it is, how it works, and when you should use it to maximize your after-tax returns—especially in multifamily and syndication deals. If you’ve ever wondered how high-net-worth investors seem to pay little to no taxes while growing wealth rapidly, this is one of their most-used tools.

We’ll also cover the pros and cons, changes in the tax code, and how this “miracle write-off” fits into both active and passive investing strategies.

💰 “Bonus depreciation isn’t just a tax loophole—it’s a wealth accelerator.”

Most people believe the path to financial peace is to pay off all their debt as quickly as possible. But what if that plan is actually slowing you down or even setting you up for disappointment?

In this episode of Residential Real Estate Tuesdays, I share the story of Jim, who followed a traditional “debt-free” plan—only to find himself house-rich but lifestyle-poor in retirement. Then we contrast his story with Sarah, who took the opposite approach: she used strategic debt to buy rental properties and built a lifestyle of freedom and cash flow long before retirement.

You’ll learn why focusing on monthly income—not eliminating every loan—is the real key to financial independence, and how to calculate exactly how many rentals you need to hit your number.

💬 “Being debt-free feels nice—but having cash flow feels free. And freedom is the goal.”

In this episode of Commercial Real Estate Thursdays, we dive into one of the most critical (and often overlooked) aspects of success in commercial investing: your partnerships.

Whether you're joining a syndication, starting a JV, or building a sponsor team, who you partner with can either accelerate your success or become your biggest regret. We walk you through the key questions, red flags, and alignment checkpoints to vet potential partners, and share personal stories of what went right—and wrong—in our own experiences.

🤝 “The deal is only as good as the people behind it. Vet the jockey as much as the horse.”
