When properly utilized, 1030 exchanges can be an invaluable tool in the savvy real estate investor's arsenal. Joining me today are Amanda Han and Matt MacFarland, husband and wife team at Keystone CPA, who expertly break down the complex web of rules surrounding these tax-deferral strategies.

A funny quote goes like this, “The tax code is like a foreign language, nobody understands it, and it's always changing.” Paying taxes is a legal obligation of every citizen as it ensures that the government has the necessary funds to provide essential services and maintain public infrastructure. However, it can seem overwhelming, especially for those who are not familiar with financial matters or the nitty gritty of tax laws. Hence, we must seek guidance and education to not perceive it as a burden but as an opportunity to strategically manage our finances and minimize our tax liabilities. Therefore, the more you talk to experts in fields where you are having difficulty, the more you know. Moreso, in financial matters, we must be wise and proactive in staying informed about changes in tax regulations. Remember, exploring available tax-saving strategies and seeking professional advice can lead to maximizing potential savings and reducing the stress associated with tax season.

A humorous quote claims that a person doesn't know how much he has to be thankful for until he has to pay taxes. We incur taxes to enjoy the benefits of living in a civilized society. Hence, it has been a significant cause of worry for many of us. Some believe that taxes rob industrious taxpayers of their hard-earned money since it requires them to part with their own money. However, we can look at it from a more positive perspective since there are many ways to reduce tax liability legally. Many taxpayers miss out on potential tax advantages and overpay due to inadequate knowledge. We must therefore gain a deeper awareness of these issues because we will undoubtedly be dealing with them for the rest of our lives. Moreover, a thorough financial plan is believed to include tax planning as a critical component to assist people in paying the least amount of taxes necessary in the years leading up to and after retirement.

Key Takeaways: "Research has shown that the average American, we're losing more money to taxes than we do on food, clothing, and housing combined." – Amanda Han "If you're doing things correctly, there's ways where you can make a lot of money but pay little to no taxes using real estate as one of the strategies." – Amanda Han "You can either sit back and complain about taxes or you can learn how you can take advantage of the same loopholes or tax benefits that some of the wealthy can take advantage of because we too can take advantage of many of those if they educate us." – Dr. Derrick Burgess "In sports, if you play by the rules and you'll be able to win the game while in a tax standpoint, if you have the right facts, then you can pay little taxes." – Amanda Han "Tax planning is when you're meeting with your advisors throughout the year to know if you're doing the right things and are having the right facts so you can save on taxes legitimately." – Amanda Han "I think for investors and business owners, your goal is not to become a CPA and understand all the tax law but to know enough so that you know what questions to ask and when to ask them." – Amanda Han "If you decided to start your business or real estate tomorrow, whether you do that in your name or an LLC, you get the same write-offs in both scenarios." – Amanda Han "The whole concept of being specific in investing to something where you have unique knowledge, insight, and experience." – Amanda Han "The reason why a lot of traditional financial advisors don't talk about self-directed 401k or don't want to talk about it is because when you ask them those types of questions, you're sort of taking money away from them." – Amanda Han "And it does not incentivize traditional financial advisors to advise you on how you can control your own money outside of their platform. That's why we're so passionate about educating people on how they can control their retirement money." – Amanda Han "True self-directed custodian does not have any portfolio of assets to offer you. The vast majority limit themselves because they won't give you investment advice since they don't know whether you should buy property in one place or another. It has nothing to do with them. They're just holding your money for you, and you are the one making the investment decision." – Amanda Han "It's a great way to continue to leverage and continue to grow your portfolio into better performing assets without having that tax drag that's slowing you down." – Matthew MacFarland "When you're spending money before you do it on any significant items, whether it's a trip, car or a vacation, ask yourself how I can make this a tax-deductible expense." – Amanda Han Connect with Amanda Han: Email: media@keystonecpa.com Website: https://www.keystonecpa.com/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/keystonecpainc/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/amandayhan/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/amanda_han_cpa/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCvL8-Sq9NtVbh_SO6oDmmAg/ Connect with Matthew MacFarland: Email: media@keystonecpa.com Website: https://www.keystonecpa.com/; animalsforarmedforces.org Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/keystonecpainc/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCvL8-Sq9NtVbh_SO6oDmmAg/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/keystone.cpa/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/mattmacfarland/ Connect with Dr. Derrick Burgess: Website: https://www.drderrickthesportsdr.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drderrickthesportsdr/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TimeOut.SportsDr LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/derrick-burgess-72047b246/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCHGDu1zT4K_X6PnYELu8weg Email: thesportsdoctr@gmail.com This episode of TimeOut with the SportsDr. is produced by Podcast VAs Philippines - the team that helps podcasters effectively launch and manage their podcasts, so we don't have to.

As investors we have the natural tendency to increase revenues and increase our bottom line. One of the ways we can do that in the short-term rental world is by increasing our exposure. In other words, increasing the amount of people that can see, view, and potentially book our properties. This is exactly where online travel agencies (OTA's) come in to play. They spend 100's of millions of dollars every year on marketing so they can successfully link the properties (us) and the potential guests together. There are lots of options for OTA's but which ones are best? Doesn't it make sense to just be on as many as possible to increase our exposure? Not necessarily. I've played around with this for years and have tried lots and lots of different listings sites with mixed feelings. This week I want to break down one of the largest ones that you MAY NOT be using; Booking.com. We'll discuss: How to decide if you should increase your exposure Booking.com statistics Getting started and the setup The pros and cons with Booking.com Should you use them or not?

You can pretty much rent anything as an airbnb these days, can't you? From a treehouse, to a houseboat, to a luxury villa to a castle! And everything in between. But what makes the best investment? Many times when investing we simply look at the numbers but that's not the whole equation. This week we'll break down the pro's and con's between three different categories of short-term: Luxury rentals Affordable rentals “Exotic” or unique rentals Back up plans for each Ability to sell How they are affected in a recession Financing options for each category You can also find the whole, hour long video webinar by visiting https://restmethods.com/recommended-resources/ and finding “Keystone CPA.

One of the two biggest expenses that everyone incurs are taxes. Which means, legally lowering our taxes should be of the utmost importance! For easy numbers and simplicity's sake, if you have $1000 in income taxes and you neglect to write off an immediately deductible $500 expense you incurred operating your short-term rentals then you just unnecessarily GAVE your government $500! For many people taxes are intimidating. You may be asking, “Can I write this off? “I don't want to get audited.” But I'm here to tell you, as long as you follow the rules you should NOT be concerned. My tax advisor specializes in real estate and they recently put together a great webinar dedicated to tax advice and your STR's… and since I know we are all busy and taxes aren't necessarily the most fun topic, so I took the liberty of breaking down the webinar FOR YOU with my biggest takeaways that you need to know!This week we'll talk taxes and break down: How the IRS defines a short term rental Different types of income reporting (Schedule E vs C) How your tax losses are treated? What it means to be a “real estate professional” and how that can benefit you How you can become a Real estate professional EASIER with STR's than you can with traditional long term rentals Depreciation How much you can use your property for “personal use” HUGE DISCLAIMER: I am not a tax professional and these are just recommendations of topics to look into so please check with your tax advisor and accountant to confirm they will work for you.

You are seeing it, aren't you? The instagram photos popping up. The long-delayed weddings that are now taking place. Airline flights being oversold. New travel videos on Youtube. Yep, it's happening, travel is back! This has been a long time coming. What else would happen bottling the world up for over a year and half and preventing one of our biggest joys (and necessities) travel. But how do we know travel is really back? And of course, it's not quite back everywhere but as short-term rental operators we have the inside scoop. So this week I want to break down a few of the signs that show us travel is looking promising.

It has been just about a year since the Living Off Rentals podcast released its first episode. Why was the Living Off Rentals podcast started? Because there is no other podcast quite like this focused on the decision making that goes into building a portfolio of rental properties with the focus of living off your rental income. Host, Kirby Atwell, is a firm believer that you can find Financial Freedom through your rental property investing if you set your mind to it and set your goals. He wanted to be able to share this knowledge with everyone who is interested via his podcasts, and he created a social media Facebook group for individuals to share, discuss and ask questions with other like-minded individuals. In today’s episode, we reflect on the past year and visit a couple highlights from two podcast that are really timely as you wrap up your year and focus on next years goals.
