Have you ever considered using the tax law as a wealth building strategy? In today's episode, we interview Mike Pine from Pine Co CPAs, and we discuss just that. Mike shares a story from one of his many clients using taxes as a wealth building strategy who purchased a beach property and he helped them strategically set it up correctly.  In doing so they were able to reduce their tax liability that year by more than the amount of their down payment, and they have now parlayed that money into a second mountain property and plan to continue this for the next 10 properties.  Uncle Sam is funding their portfolio.  The most exciting part of this, is that almost anyone can do it, unfortunately, most people do not know about it to take advantage of this huge wealth building strategy.   Join us on today's episode with one of the nation's leading tax advisors and CPAs, Mike Pine, as we discuss exactly what you can do to take advantage of this strategy to build your vacation rental portfolio.   To book a consult with Mike and his team visit: www.PineCoCPAs.com/Vodyssey .

I had something I wanted to get off my chest today.   I have the pleasure of speaking with many people all across the country who are interested in getting into the short term rental game. One of the topics that comes up fairly often is people under estimating the simplicity of this game.    My biggest frustration is that sometimes people won't set their ego aside long enough to learn what it takes to succeed, and this ultimately leads to them selling themselves short on the success they could have.  Most people do not know what they don't know.  This is not their fault.  They haven't put in the time to understand what seems to be a very simple business.   While this business is not rocket science, there are certain things you should focus on to succeed in this game.  If you don't know what those things are, you may run down a road that has some surprises for you.   Listen to this weeks episode to hear why I believe there is more success waiting for you than you may realize if you understand how to play this game.   .

An emergency fund doesn’t have to burn a hole in your wallet if you know what it is, and how it can work for you without earning a huge return. Many successful investors get the feeling that their cash is “burning a hole in their wallet.” After all, that cash could be earning a return.   Using up that “cash burning a hole in your wallet” so it “earns a return” is the real estate investor’s constant dilemma. Today we are going to talk about how much of an emergency fund you should have personally.   We will discuss how much capital you should plan on for your first short term rental investment.   And we will discuss what an emergency fund should look like for your portfolio before you begin putting money into you own pocket as a return on your investment.
