💼 Are you ready for massive tax savings in 2025?
In this episode of the Rent To Retirement Podcast, host Adam Schroeder sits down with Jim and Lorraine Conaway, founders of JCA Tax, to break down the new 2025 tax changes and how real estate investors can use them to build wealth while paying less in taxes legally.

The Conaways reveal powerful tax strategies—like 100% bonus depreciation, cost segregation, qualified business income (QBI), and charitable trusts—that can help investors save thousands every year. Whether you're a high-income earner, W-2 employee, or a seasoned investor, these insights will help you optimize your portfolio and maximize returns.
