Wherever Jon May Roam, with National Corn Growers Association CEO Jon Doggett
It's tax day, but some of the important policies that are helping your farm maintain profitability are in jeopardy if the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 is allowed to expire this year. Provisions like the Qualified Business Income Deduction, 100% Bonus Depreciation, and the increased Estate Tax Exemption are critically important to producers across the country. So in this episode, we're talking with two of NCGA's foremost experts about how these policies benefit farmers… and what we can do to preserve them. Andy Jobman is a farmer from Gothenburg, Nebraska, and chairs NCGA's Risk Management Action Team, which has been researching the effects of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act at the farm gate and building up our case to preserve it. And Wayne Stoskopf is NCGA's Director of Public Policy, serving as the D.C. staff liaison for all matters involving tax policy. Together, they'll explain why farmers can't afford to lose these tax protections, what it means for rural communities, and why it's critical for growers to contact their legislators about this issue.

In today's episode, which was originally released in November 2021, we feature Dan Bartholomew, a financial advisor and friend of Jim Pfeifer, who was new to passive investing in syndications. After listening to the podcast for a couple of months, he had accumulated a list of questions for Jim, which led to this informative episode where each question was discussed in detail. This is the perfect episode for those just starting out in passive investing and struggling to comprehend some of the common terms used in the LFI community. This episode is often used as a resource for new investors. This episode is being republished because all the topics discussed are still relevant today. So sit back, relax, and enjoy this throwback episode from 2021!Here are some power takeaways from today's conversation: The difference between bonus depreciation and cost segregation Cash-on-cash return vs. IRR return How to screen out the metrics you don't like Understanding the different types of deals Class A vs. Class B Why a triple-net lease makes sense Selling a property or holding it Episode Highlights:[06:48] Bonus Depreciation vs. Cost SegregationCost segregation and bonus depreciation are both tax strategies that allow for accelerated depreciation of assets. Cost segregation involves conducting a study on a property to identify personal property separate from real property. This allows for the separate components to be depreciated over five, seven, or ten years, rather than the typical 27.5-year straight-line depreciation for residential properties and 39 years for commercial properties. On the other hand, bonus depreciation is a provision in the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act that allows for a 100% depreciation deduction in year one for assets that could only be depreciated at 50% or lower percentages. While this provides a large tax deduction in year one, it also leads to depreciation recapture when the asset is sold. This means that the deferred depreciation is added back to the gain from the sale and taxed at a higher rate of 25%. However, reinvesting the proceeds in a new syndication can offset the recapture and the tax deferral can continue, similar to a 1031 exchange.[12:28] Cash-on-Cash Return vs. IRR ReturnThe cash-on-cash return for ATMs is 25%, which is higher than the typical 6-12% for most syndications. However, it's important to note that ATMs are different from other assets because they don't have any returns at the end as the asset depreciates and isn't sold like an apartment complex. Cash on cash return is calculated by dividing the annual cash flow by the capital invested, while the Internal Rate of Return (IRR) takes into account the time value of money and looks at the total return on investment over time. In typical real estate deals, the IRR is higher because the annual returns are compounded over the life of the investment and there are sales proceeds that contribute to the return of capital. However, with ATMs, there is very little return on capital and virtually no sales proceeds, which is why the cash-on-cash return may be higher than the IRR. Overall, ATMs are an outlier in terms of their unique characteristics compared to other assets.[34:48] Navigating Investment Priorities and Tax Advantages in Real Estate SyndicationsSyndicators often prioritize either cashflow or appreciation in their deals, although it's common to have elements of both. It's worth noting that some syndicators utilize tax advantages such as cost segregation and bonus depreciation while others do not, so it's important to ask about this when evaluating an investment opportunity. While taxes shouldn't be the sole reason for investing, it's vital to speak with the sponsor to determine whether the investment is geared towards cashflow or appreciation. Typically, if the pro forma shows a smaller early-year cash-on-cash return with a larger gain projected in the future, it's an indication that the investment is focused on appreciation

You can watch this episode on Youtube.com: https://youtu.be/KZWEb2iXAH4 Cost Segregation Analysis Studies are an important part of investors' tax strategy for depreciation. If it's a commercial building, you can take 39 years of depreciation. If it's a residential structure, you're able to depreciate for 27 and a half years. But does your carpet last for 27 and a half years? No, it depreciates faster. You can depreciate different elements of the structure at different rates (5 years, 7 years, 15 years), but you have to have a study to make sure you're doing it right. Join us with our guest, Erik Oliver from Cost Segregation Authority, as we dive deep into the different aspects of Cost Segregation Analysis! 0:00 - Introduction 1:47 - Define Cost Segregation Analysis. Taking depreciation in different chunks at an accelerated pace. Why is it important? Cost value of money, inflation, and tax strategy. 4:23 - What happens when you sell? You pay two types of taxes: 1) capital gains and 2) depreciation recapture. Take your deduction at a higher rate, then pay your taxes at a reduced rate on a future date. How do they come up with the numbers? 12:05 - It doesn't work on EVERY property. 16:05 - Bonus Depreciation. Bonus depreciation means you can get 100% of your depreciation right in the first year...until the end of 2022. 18:50 - Put it "In Service". You can take depreciation if the property is "in service" according to the IRS. 23:15 - An Airbnb Example. Use the tax savings as the down payment. Cost segregation does NOT generate audits. 29:28 - What'd we learn today? 34:43 - Outtakes * No IRS agents were harmed in the making of this video.

Good morning from Los Angeles. My name is Paul Levine and I am a Commercial Realtor who has developed a system to save investors tens of thousands of tax dollars or more when building and operating self-storage facilities. I am working with a wonderful builder on this project. We build the facility so that you can get up to $1 million in Bonus Depreciation in one year and then carry forward the Net Operating Loss created by that deduction and not pay income taxes for more than several years. And, everyone HATES to pay income taxes. We also have been, literally, drawn into the multifamily housing market and we build just about any size apartment building and do it anywhere in the United States. We also give generous referral fees to anyone who refers business to us. Realtors make great referral sources because you are already dealing with clients who buy and sell real estate as their primary residences and for investment. Our referral fees can get to 6 figures on our larger projects. I also work with investors and other realtors from all over the United States and Canada advising them on their transactions as my credentials are unique.

Target Market Insights: Multifamily Real Estate Marketing Tips
Unlike any election we’ve seen before, it took five days before the media declared a winner in the 2020 Presidential Election. While President Trump has alleged voter fraud, there does not appear to be any proof that validates that claim. As it stands, Joe Biden won the election and is the President-Elect. But how will President-Elect Biden’s policies affect real estate investors? Is the 1031 Exchange being eliminated? Will bonus depreciation go away? The change in leadership means a change in philosophy and policy. It is clear that Biden plans to roll back some of the tax breaks and benefits that were enacted through the 2017 JOBS Act under the Trump administration. According to NREIOnline, Biden proposed a 10-year, $775 billion plan to provide universal childcare and in-home elder care. According to the 10-page proposal, it “will be paid for by rolling back unproductive and unequal tax breaks for real estate investors with incomes over $400,000 and taking steps to increase tax compliance for high-income earners.” The plan only mentions the tax once and other details are scarce, if non-existent. Joe Biden’s own website, joebiden.com offers little more detail on the taxes that impact real estate investors. However, multiple publications have reported that this plan would target three popular tax strategies: bonus depreciation, 1031 exchanges, and the step-up basis. Bonus depreciation: enacted through the 2017 JOBS Act and allows you to accelerate the depreciation time frame for eligible elements instead of writing them off over their normal useful life. 1031 Exchange: history goes all the way back to 1921. A 1031 exchange allows you to roll your equity from one investment property into another investment property of equal or greater value while delaying the capital gains tax. Step-up basis: allows you to “step-up” the value of inherited property to today’s value so you are not responsible for paying capital gains tax on the equity that was created before you inherited it. I discuss how these policies may impact investors and the likelihood that they may get implemented at all. In addition, Biden’s website has three other policies that I discuss including a priority to create more affordable housing, provide support to reduce evictions, and ending systemic practices like redlining that have hurt minorities. Key insights on President-Elect Biden’s Policies on Real Estate Joe Biden’s housing plan (link to info) A top priority for President-Elect Biden is creating more affordable housing. The benefits and concerns of Biden’s vision for affordable housing development Biden’s plan for helping residents with evictions and what that means for landlords An eviction is truly a last resort for most property owners. How my company handled tenant shortfalls during COVID Biden wants to end systemic practices that have made it harder for minorities, especially African-Americans to own real estate (end red lining) Biden vs. the 1031 Exchange Biden’s proposal would impact investors earning incomes of more than $400,000 I’m less concerned about the 1031 Exchange because it’s been talked about so long and is in place, and we still have a republican senate (as of now). Benefits of utilizing a 1031 Exchange and what could happen if the law is changed Understanding how Step-Up Basis works now, and what would happen if it was repealed (A step-up in basis reflects the changed value of an inherited asset) If the step-up basis gets eliminated, very few heirs will be able to pay the capital gains tax. How the republican senate will play a big role in real estate policies How to take advantage of bonus depreciation (fast-forwarding the depreciation of any asset) before Biden gets rid of it Bonus Depreciation is set to expire in 2023 and will be harder to renew. How to get updates on policy changes that affect real estate investors, landlords, brokers, etc. My final thoughts on the possible changes and how to deal with the proposed impact Partner: Download our Sample Deal Package

There are certain times where it might be more advantageous to get it done on a property that you are holding for a shorter period of time or for some people depending on their business plan for a longer period of time. Those first five years are integral to the tax benefits there, but it can be different for everyone.” – Yonah Weiss Resources Mentioned: Cost Segregation Study definition Bonus Depreciation You can connect with Yonah on LinkedIn, Visit his personal website.

Our guest today is going to tell us how she went from a negative net worth to building up a multi-million dollar empire in multifamily rentals. Join us as we talk with Anna Kelley, the founding partner of Zenith Capital Group, Apex Multifamily and REImom.com. Anna's a former top ranked financial relationship manager for a private bank and began investing in real estate 20 years ago. Since, she has purchased, renovated and rented millions of dollars of real estate across numerous asset classes while working full-time and raising four active children. She recently retired from her corporate career after creating financial freedom through rental properties investing and currently has ownership and manages a rental portfolio valued at over $60 million and has invested in over 1000 doors as a Limited Partner. An Amazon best-selling author, a speaker, and a mentor... Anna Kelly is one busy lady!Starting out as a landlord by necessity with a negative net worth, Anna walks us through her journey and how she made it through the recession to slowly and steadily build her portfolio up to replace her six-figure income that would allow her to retire.“I started investing in real estate a long long time ago. For those that think real estate is a get rich quick scheme, it's definitely not. I have definitely played the long game and it's just finally paid off.” Anna admits that finding money in the beginning to keep scaling and growing after their first initial purchase was not easy. So, along with her husband, they put in the time and they educated themselves. That is when they came across the BRRRR method—Buy, Rehab, Rent, Refinance, and Repeat. Here is just a little of what we talk about today...Why Anna focused on 4-unit propertiesThe worst advice she's seen given in RE investingWhat she would have done differentlyAnna's advice for the person who has done some rentals and wants to scale to the next levelScaling the managementTenant screening and lots more...Anna Kelley is an inspiration. She built a real estate empire as a side hustle while working a full-time corporate job and raising four kids. The epitome of tenacious, she found ways around the roadblocks and kept moving forward until she reached her destination, financial freedom. “I think that there it's really important to point out that there's really no one right way to make money in real estate. There's a lot of variables that depend on you personally, your skills, how much time you have available, how much money you have available to invest.”TIP OF THE WEEKMark: My tip of the week is to be like Anna Kelley.

“Fake News” for Dentists: Section 179With the year-end approaching we will soon be turning our attention to holiday celebrations and festivities; Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Years and Section 179 Deductions!If you are a small business owner, especially a dentist, you will be visited by equipment sales professionals, especially at year-end, who tout the incredible tax savings one can accrue by using Section 179. With those two words, “tax deduction”, dentists become easy prey for the dental equipment sales rep, and many times make large capital purchases for their tax benefits alone.In this podcast, we are going to spend some time learning more about Section 179, and illuminate several Blindspots the sales rep is sure to leave out.Section 179 is a part of the Internal Revenue Tax Code which allows small businesses to take an accelerated tax write-off in the year of purchase for equipment which would otherwise be depreciated, or expensed over time. Most of the equipment in a dental practice qualifies, and under the right conditions, it can be a great tool to reduce your tax liability while improving and upgrading the technology in your practice. There are many pundits out there preaching the benefits of Section 179 as an incentive for Doctors to save on their taxes. Admittedly, there is a time and a place where we would agree; however, there are some Section 179 pitfalls practice owners need to be aware of and consider when making that determination.Let’s take some time to go down the “rabbit hole” and learn some rules to be aware of when considering Section 179.Rule 1: Only your Tax Professional knows best.There are so many nuances and details of Section 179 that it is essential for you to consult with your Tax Professional prior to pulling the trigger on this. Projections and planning for your current year as well as future years is critical. Many times it is in the future years where the potential problems with Section 179 become apparent. Only your Accountant knows for sure if electing the Section 179 Deduction is beneficial to you.Rule 2: Your equipment sales rep is NOT your Tax Professional.In all the excitement of the year-end sales frenzy, your equipment sales rep will most likely illustrate the maximum one-year “tax savings” for you with a quick spreadsheet calculation. I wish this were that easy, but it’s not. As my accountant likes to tell me repeatedly…”It depends, David!”“It depends, David”Maurice, my AccountantBuyer beware here…this calculation is an estimate only and should have the disclaimer, “for illustrative purposes only!”Without a comprehensive understanding of the doctor’s financial situation and tax bracket, an equipment sales rep does not have sufficient information to determine the amount of money a doctor will save. You as the doctor must consult with your tax advisor before making a large purchase.Remember Rule 1: Only your Tax Professional Knows Best!“Knowing the name of something doesn’t mean you understand it.”Richard FeynmanRule 3: Knowing the name of something doesn’t mean you understand it.It seems at year-end everyone is talking about “Section 179 Write-Off”, or “Section 179 Deduction”. At this time of year, this is the most common question our consulting firm is asked, “Can I use the 179 Write Off?”, or “How much more equipment can I buy to save taxes?” So, just because someone espouses this term does not mean they know or understand it! You can hear it called a “write-off”, a “deduction”, an “accelerated expensing”, or even an “accelerated depreciation”. So many terms, but so little time!So which is it? An expense? A deduction? A Write-off? A depreciation?How exactly does Section 179 reduce your taxes?If you don’t know, listen here.To understand how Section 179 reduces your taxes we must appreciate, in basic terms, how your financial statements work and how they are interrelated; the Balance Sheet, the Income Statement or P&L, and the Statement of Cash Flows.First, Capital Equipment purchases are classified as Assets and appear on your Balance Sheet, completely avoiding your Income Statement. The Income Statement shows your Revenue and all the expenses incurred to generate that revenue, not your assets.Capital Equipment is Expensed in the Income Statement through the process of Depreciation. Depreciation is a complex accounting topic best delegated to your Accountant. As the business owner, you should understand that the Depreciation expense accounts for the loss in economic value, over time, of an asset. This loss is the result of wear and tear, consumption, the effects of time, as well as obsolescence. This Depreciation expense is a NON-Cash expense, as no cash is exchanged here, i.e. no check is written. Think of it as an accounting entry or “adjustment”. Be aware there are several methods Accountants can use to depreciate assets. As a result, it is acceptable to calculate depreciation for taxes differently from how depreciation is recorded for accounting purposes.So, say you purchased that new Cone Beam Scanner for $100,000 and your accountant recommended a 5-year depreciation schedule to match your 5-year bank loan. Assuming the equipment will be fully depreciated to a book value of zero, your depreciation would be $20,000 per year.This $20,000 shows up on your Income Statement as a Depreciation Expense, thus reducing your Net Income by $20,000.Remember, your Net Income is linked to your Balance Sheet through the Retained Earnings section. This $20,000 depreciation expense effectively lowers your Retained Earnings by the same $20,000. Since most dental Corporations are Pass-Through Entities and not subject to taxation, your $100,000 Cone Beam Scanner, depreciated at $20,000 per year has effectively reduced your Taxable Income by $20,000 and at a 35% tax rate saves you $7000 in taxes each year.So what does Section 179 do? It allows you to take an accelerated depreciation and fully deduct the entire expense of the equipment in the year of purchase. Please note there are restrictions and limitations to all tax codes, consult your Tax Professional for all those details.In our Cone Beam example, depreciating the entire $100,000 purchase reduces your Net Income and effectively your Taxable Income by $100,000, saving up to $35,000 in taxes.Remember, and the key point here, your mileage may vary, as may your tax savings. Only your accountant knows for sure if Section 179 is beneficial to you. Remember Rule 1: Only your Tax Professional Knows Best.To further complicate Section 179 there is also something called Bonus Depreciation; kinda like a “cousin” to Section 179. Bonus Depreciation also allows for a 100% depreciation of qualified assets. Simply stated, Section 179 provides greater flexibility than just bonus depreciation alone. With Bonus Depreciation, you can create a tax loss, but with Section 179, you can only bring the taxable income down to $0. As you can quickly appreciate, the entire discussion of depreciation, Section 179 and Bonus Depreciation, along with the many other depreciation methods can get very technical and complex, well beyond my expertise. Certainly, well beyond the expertise of a Dental Equipment Sales Professional. While it is important for you to understand depreciation and how it affects your financial statements, I recommend that you save yourself some time and leave depreciation calculations to the accounting experts.“Depreciation Selections, Schedules and Calculations are NOT for do-it-yourselfer’s!”Dr. David DarabAt this juncture, I can’t resist reviewing for you, the effect a Capital Expenditure has on your financial statements…Let’s take a look!When you purchase a $100,000 ConeBeam machine with the financing you add $100,000 to your Cash Asset on your Balance sheet and create a $100,000 Loan Liability. Remember, your Balance Sheet must Balance; Assets must equal Liabilities plus Owner’s EquityWhen purchased, the $100,000 cash from the loan is converted into a $100,000 equipment asset on the balance sheet.Your monthly loan payment of about $1800 (4.5% over 5 years) breaks down into principal payment of approximately $1700 and an interest payment of about $100. The principle payment appears on your Statement of Cash Flow while your interest payment appears on your Income or Profit and Loss Statement as an Interest expense. We already mentioned the depreciation expense will appear on the Income Statement too.There you have it. If you need a refresher on the key financial statements please go back and listen to my podcast series on each one! It will get you up to speed on how to talk finance, the language of business. After listening to my series, rest assured, you will know more about business and financial statements than 98% of your colleagues, guaranteed!Rule 4: You should never be in a hurry to buy equipment!Section 179 is available to you year-round, not just in the closing days of the year. It is not a time-limited offer valid in December only!There is no special Tax Magic for Section 179 at year-end. Ideally, you should be carefully planning your major capital expenditures throughout the year, not rushing at the last closing moments of the year to get the equipment installed. The rush and panic are created because, in order to qualify for the Section 179 Deduction, the equipment must be purchased and put into service by December 31!So, please feel free to purchase your needed equipment throughout the year, not just in December, and still take advantage of Section 179 Depreciation while enjoying using your new technology.Rule 5: You get the maximum deduction with or without Section 179.It is important to realize that all Capital Equipment will be fully depreciated per the depreciation schedule chosen by your accountant. Section 179 does not allow for any additional depreciation. Section 179 just takes all the depreciation in one year, no more, no less. No special magic or secret sauce.Listen on for potential traps and blindspots though, it is never as simple as the salesperson makes it out to be.Rule 6: You Still Have to Pay for the Equipment!Write off, deduction, expensing all sound wonderful, but none of these verbs reduce the cost of your equipment. You must still pay for it.After all the high fives and celebrating over your massive Section 179 year-end deduction that just saved you lots of money on your taxes, you are left with the reality of paying on your banknote for the next 5 years or so.In future years, you have now completely lost the depreciation expense and deduction on your income statement, since you took all of your depreciation in the year of purchase by electing Section 179. Many call this the Section 179 “tax trap” that “catches” you in future years. You are now left with the reality of higher net income, higher personal taxes along with loan repayments for your equipment purchase. This potential “double whammy” repeats during the period of your loan repayments.This is a huge blind spot and potential pitfall when Section 179 is elected.Follow me here…You load up on equipment, pay with debt and expense it all through Section 179. You are happy to owe so little in taxes, the equipment rep is happy, and your CPA looks like a genius.But…, and there is always a “but”…In future years you now have less cash because you are now paying on your debt service, and without any deductions, remember you elected Section179, you now have a higher taxable income and the corresponding tax bill that further reduces your cash!Rule 7: If you fail to plan, you plan to fail.With all the year-end excitement and frenzy is sounds like a great idea to be able to write everything off, but doing so may not result in all the tax savings claimed. In deciding whether to elect Section 179 or Bonus Depreciation, doctors need to think about what future earnings are expected. One might want to save some deductions to offset future income when earnings and taxes could be higher.As with any tax decision, you cannot look at the current year with blinders on. Before making a decision to take the Section179 deduction, it’s important that you and your accountant discuss not only this year’s tax implications but also the impact it will have on future years as well. Ask your accountant if the refund I get this year is at the expense of next year. Don’t fall for the Section 179 Tax Trap! You have just been warned.Rule 8: Never buy a tax deductionYour goal to pay as much tax as you can! Yes, let me repeat that paying taxes is ok, in fact paying more taxes is even better. Paying more taxes means you must have more income as well. We here at OmniStar believe that maximizing and growing your income is the key to growing your wealth and becoming financially independent. Minimizing taxes is not a strategy that will grow your wealth or help you become financially independent.Spending your cash to buy a tax deduction never creates wealth. Your deduction reduces your taxable income by the amount of your expense. This is identical to buying something on sale. If your marginal tax rate is 35%, then you get everything the practice buys at 35% off. The kicker is, any many forget, you still have to pay for the 65%. Said another way, would you spend $1000 to save $350? Understand that simple question along with the answer and you are well on your way to creating wealth.So, time to sum things up here.We have learned that Section 179 has no special powers or magic, it simply allows you to fully depreciate your capital equipment in the year of purchase. As with all Internal Revenue Tax Code, there are rules, limitations, and restrictions that apply. Listeners are urged to consult a qualified Tax Professional for guidance here. Your sales rep is not equipped to provide you such guidance. Planning for future years is critical so the timing of your depreciation expense aligns with your future income growth. Such planning can help you avoid the Section 179 tax trap where Fantom Income, and its associated tax bill, is created when your depreciation expense was used up in the prior year by electing Section 179. This is a double whammy with higher taxes along with debt service on your equipment loans, creating negative cash flow.Also, avoid the year-end rush and frenzy, budget and buy your capital equipment and start using it anytime during the year; Section 179 is available to you year-round.Remember, Section 179 only accelerates depreciation, it does not allow any additional write-offs, deductions or depreciation.And finally, never buy a tax deduction. If you need the equipment to better your patient care, then, by all means, purchase it, but buying it solely for its tax deduction is a wealth destroying strategy.We hope that this information has created a few “Ah-Ha” moments, or stimulated some additional questions you can direct to your advisers. Hopefully, you now have a better understanding of what Section 179 is, and more importantly, what it is not!We welcome your questions here at OmniStar Financial.

Cost Segregation is a tool given by the tax code to real estate investors that improves cash flow instantly. Jodi Nielsen, National Senior Account Manager & David Deshotels, Executive Vice President of Cost Segregation Services Inc provide real estate investors with the how and why they can utilize the tax code to lower their taxes, save money, improve cash flow. FREE: TAX SAVINGS COST ANALYSIS Cost Segregation Study Cost Segregation Study takes an engineering approach to determine what the components of the building are. Then, it breaks the whole building into its components parts. These component parts are then categorized as personal property, and assigned a life expectancy of 5, 7 or 15 years. Depreciation Depreciation is the accounting of a portion of the whole that has been used up, and is loss. This loss reduces its value and is accounted for annually when filing income taxes. It is an expense against income. Subtracting this depreciation expense from income reduces your taxable income. Straight line vs Accelerated Start with a value of $100,000 Pre Tax income of $20,000 Straight line: 27.5 years: $100,000 / 27.5 = $3,636 annual depreciation expense. Taxable income: $20,000 Depreciation: - $3,636 Taxable Income: $16,364 Accelerated Depreciation: 5 years: $100,000 / 5 = $20,000 annual depreciation expense. Taxable income: $20,000 Depreciation: -$20,000 Taxable Income: $ 0 This shorter timeline accelerates the depreciation and increases the depreciation expense, which lowers the Taxable Income and increases cash flow. The net result can be tax free income for the real estate investor. This is especially true in the early years of ownership. This is one of the primary incentives for investors to hold real estate. Bonus Depreciation Bonus Depreciation used to be available only for buyer or builder of a new property. The new tax laws allow you an additional 100% depreciate any eligible property if it is new to you. This adds to the value of a cost segregation study. Partial Asset Disposition Partial asset disposition allows you to take into account and write off the loss of the unused property when you replace elements of your building. For instance, if you buy a building and have to replace the carpet. If you expense the cost of the new carpet, you will get to record the expense of the new item, but will not get the benefit of the unused property that you tossed in the dumpster. Additionally, if you have not done a Cost Segregation study, you will miss out on the additional depreciation allowed in the 2017 tax act. Bonus Depreciation provides an additional amount of depreciation for qualifying property in year one of purchase. Tax Payor Status Your tax payor status will determine how much depreciation you are allowed to use. Real Estate Professional For those investors who are full time investors and do not have a W2 job, they can utilize the depreciation against 100% of their gross income. Passive Real Estate Investor If you are a passive investor, and have a W2 job, you are allowed to deduct up to the amount of passive income received. If you have more deductions than you can take, the deductions will be carried forward for future use. This can be used to offset the taxable gain when you sell the property. Misconceptions of Cost Segregation There are some common misconceptions around cost segregation. Following are a few: Misconception: I can’t do a cost segregation study on my old building. FACTS: This is not true. As long as the building is new to you, you are eligible to utilize cost segregation. Misconception: My building is not worth enough to utilize cost segregation. FACTS: As long as your building is worth $150,000, cost segregation may be of benefit to you. When Not to Use a Cost Segregation Study A cost segregation study will not work for you if you are a non profit that does not pay taxes. Additionally, if you are looking to flip a property in less than 3 years, it may not be worth doing a study. The recapture rate of Personal Property can be negated if planned for properly. If you exchange into a new building, the Personal property recaptured, will be calculated at a higher rate than the permanent structure. However, if you do a cost segregation study on the new property, you will have a new schedule of depreciation plus the bonus depreciation in year one. BIGGEST RISK Each week I ask my guest, “What is the Biggest Risk Real Estate Investors face?” BIGGEST RISK: Per Jodi: The biggest risk is you're sitting basically if you own a building you definitely owe it to yourself op to look at. Because you're sitting on cash that you don't have to sell another widget. You don't have to make another widget. You don't have to find another contract. It's your money that you're just basically sitting on by owning a building that you could use now. And so why not at least look at the look at the numbers to see if it makes sense for you at this time instead of letting more time go by just straight lining. And then also with the partial asset disposition I would say it's very important to take advantage of it. Per David: We've had plenty of companies that have called us back years after having done their study. And they suffered catastrophic loss be it a tornado or fire or whatever it is and they won't say, do you guys still have those 500 pictures of my building that you took when you did the study? It's like sure we've got those and it's so we have they're building just completely documented from top to bottom one in the other. We'll come out and take hundreds and hundreds of pictures depending on the size of the property to completely document that. So if there is catastrophic loss it's it's a documentation to say hey here's what the building was. Here's all the furniture fixtures and so forth. And it's been very helpful to people in times of crisis.

The TCJA made mostly favorable changes to bonus depreciation and Section 179 expensing, but the new rules also contain a few drawbacks to consider. Mike McGivney, Partner-in-Charge of Cohen & Company's Tax Department, and tax manager Jonathan Williamson offer insights on how businesses can take advantage of the changes and on the potential interplay with other areas of the tax code.

Where Taxes Fit into the Cash Flow System Strategically (and legally) shrinking your tax liability is a huge part of fixing your money leaks. But it's just one small step of a greater journey of building time and money freedom. That's why we've put together the 3-step Entrepreneur's Cash Flow System. The first step is keeping more of the money you make. This includes tax planning, debt restructuring, cash flow awareness, and restructuring your savings so you can access it as an emergency/opportunity fund.

This expansion puts more dollars in your pocket for large asset purchases. However, the true test to determine whether to purchase an asset is whether you needed it in the first place.

If you find that you had a lot of these entertainment expenses or eating out with clients, business just got more expensive. Changes in Real Estate Tax Laws For residential or commercial real estate investors, the reform simplified the definition of property improvements and limited the 1031 like-kind exchanges to real property.

RxSafe sponsor's this episode of the Pharmacy Podcast to help educate pharmacy owners, directors, and pharmacy business stakeholders about the benefits of Section 179 Tax Deduction. 2017 Deduction Limit = $500,000 This deduction is good on new and used equipment, as well as off-the-shelf software.
