I’m talking about alternative investments such as notes, ATM funds, mobile home parks, life insurance policies, tech start-ups, industrial properties, short-term rentals, and LIHTC affordable housing communities.

It always amazes me how many real estate investors are still doing their own year-end taxes, or they’re working with a tax preparer who doesn’t specialize in real estate. While hiring an expert to do your taxes can be expensive, it’s much preferable to the alternative, which is not maximizing the powerful tax benefits you receive from investing in real estate. My guest today is a profit first accountant who has saved her clients over $1 billion in taxes.  Shauna The Tax Goddess is going to share the top tax saving strategies for real estate investors. We’ll be discussing cost segregation, real estate professional status, and the differences between short-term rental and long-term rental taxation. Shauna is also going to share some strategies that many investors aren’t even aware of, such as paying your children, renting out your personal residence for less than 14 days tax-free, and writing off your dog.
