Episode notes
Buy Residential Real Estate For Life
- Invest in residential real estate where people live, like homes or apartments, to generate consistent rental income.
- Avoid malls and office spaces due to changing shopping habits and remote work trends.
Real Estate Depreciation Longevity
- Depreciation deductions differ: residential properties depreciate over 27.5 years, commercial over 39 years.
- After these periods, you lose tax breaks and might pay more taxes, influencing when to sell.
Stepped-Up Basis Benefit
- Holding real estate for life benefits from stepped-up basis, allowing heirs to inherit at current market value for tax purposes.
- This avoids capital gains taxes on appreciated property when passed on after death.
