Get my new book: https://bronsonequity.com/fireyourselfDownload my new special report - How to Use Inflation to Your Advantage - www.bronsonequity.com/inflationIn this episode of the Mailbox Money Show, Bronson and Nate sit down with legendary real estate investor Dwan Bent-Twyford to explore one of the most unconventional — and profitable — strategies in real estate: buying and revitalizing an entire small-town downtown.Dwan shares the remarkable story of how she and her family began acquiring properties in Clinton, Iowa, eventually owning dozens of parcels and playing a key role in transforming the town's downtown district. The conversation dives into opportunity zones, owner financing, grant money, small-town incentives, and why shrinking Midwest towns can still produce exceptional cash flow and long-term appreciation.Dwan also reflects on her 35+ year real estate journey — from starting as a broke single mom to completing over 2,000 deals — and explains why focusing on people in distress (foreclosures, probate, divorces, burned-out landlords) has always been her core strategy, regardless of market conditions.Dwan Bent-Twyford is a veteran real estate investor, author, educator, and podcast host with over three decades of experience and more than 2,000 completed deals. Known as the “Queen of Short Sales,” Dwan has built wealth through wholesaling, rehabbing, rentals, and creative financing, while mentoring thousands of investors nationwide. Today, she's helping revive small-town America—one building at a time.TIMESTAMPS0:41 - Episode Intro1:03 - Scaling to Bigger Deals1:54 - Guest Intro: Dwan Bent-Twyford3:07 - Rehabbing Clinton, Iowa Downtown4:12 - Town's Decline and Rejuvenation Vision4:44 - Opportunity Zones and Grants7:01 - OZ Benefits: No Cap Gains After 10 Years10:16 - Population Trends and Incentives15:38 - Core Strategy: Target Distressed Public Records21:03 - Early Struggles: Broke Single Mom Pivot22:42 - First Equity Partnering Deal24:23 - Wholesaling 1,000+ Properties with Partner25:45 - Current Opportunities: Distressed Sellers27:17 - 125-Property Portfolio Acquisition Story29:30 - Connect with Dwan31:03 - Debrief: Action Creates OpportunitiesConnect with the Guest:Website: http://dwanderful.com/Instagram: @dwanderfulFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/Dwanderful/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/the-investor's-edge-university/Tiktok: @officialrealestateguru#RealEstateInvesting#SmallTownRevitalization#OpportunityZones#Wholesaling#MultifamilyDeals#FinancialFreedom#InvestorStrategies

In this week's episode, I spoke with Lisa Knee, Managing Partner of Real Estate Services at EisnerAmper, one of the largest tax and advisory firms serving institutional owners, funds, developers, and family offices across the country.   Lisa works with clients who "touch dirt, own dirt, work with dirt" and her view is clear: the tax landscape has stopped moving, but the real estate market hasn't found its footing.   She breaks down what the One Big Beautiful Bill actually settled (199A permanence, 100 percent bonus depreciation, renewed Opportunity Zone rules), and why none of it has thawed capital or clarified pricing. Capital is cautious, lenders prefer extend-and-amend, and investors still don't trust projected rents, expenses, or cap rates enough to lean in.   We discuss topics that matter to serious operators, including: Which tax provisions now permanently shape deal economics for partnerships, REIT investors, and developers. How Opportunity Zones 2.0 works and what the 2026 "blackout" means for capital flows. Why B and C assets are under the most pressure even as A and D properties continue to lease. Why adaptive reuse is a specialist's game, not a market-wide solution for office. What lenders are actually doing behind the scenes and how extend-and-amend is shaping distress. If you're underwriting deals, raising capital, or making hold-sell decisions in 2025 as we head into 2026, this conversation gives you a clear, steady framework for understanding how tax incentives, lender behavior, and pricing uncertainty are interacting right now.   *** In this series, I cut through the noise to examine how shifting macroeconomic forces and rising geopolitical risk are reshaping real estate investing.   With insights from economists, academics, and seasoned professionals, this show helps investors respond to market uncertainty with clarity, discipline, and a focus on downside protection.    Subscribe to my free newsletter for timely updates, insights, and tools to help you navigate today's volatile real estate landscape. You'll get: Straight talk on what happens when confidence meets correction - no hype, no spin, no fluff. Real implications of macro trends for investors and sponsors with actionable guidance.

John Casmon interviews Yonah Weiss, a cost segregation expert known as the “Cost Seg King,” about how cost segregation works as an advanced form of depreciation and why it can be a powerful cash-flow tool for real estate investors. They break down who benefits most, plus other scenarios like the short-term rental “loophole” and income-based exceptions that can allow depreciation to offset active income. Yonah also explains depreciation recapture in plain English and shares common strategies investors use to defer or reduce tax impact at sale, including 1031 exchanges and Opportunity Zones. Finally, they shift into marketing—why Yonah built his brand on LinkedIn through consistency and real engagement, and why in-person networking is still hard to beat.

Fueled by the momentum of Opportunity Zones 2.0, the OZ industry is surging into the final months of 2025 with record participation, a new rural map, and a wave of upcoming events. Jimmy Atkinson and Andy Hagans break down the latest news and trends shaping the OZ landscape — including a major milestone for OZ Insiders, the updated Opportunity Zone Map featuring new rural designations, and the fast-approaching Novogradac OZ Summit and OZ Pitch Day.

The Opportunity Zones (OZ) incentive has seen a number of exciting developments in 2025, in large part due to the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA), which made the incentive permanent when the legislation was signed into law July 4. In this episode of Tax Credit Tuesday, Michael Novogradac, CPA, sits down with Novogradac partner Jason Watkins, CPA, to discuss the latest policy updates in the OZ incentive and the transition from OZ 1.0 tracts to OZ 2.0 tracts. Novogradac and Watkins discuss issues the Novogradac OZ Working Group has identified as requiring guidance from the Treasury, including dual OZ designations for 2027 and 2028, legacy business eligibility, and compliance with qualified OZ business (QOZB) tests. Finally, the pair discuss the process for designating the next round of OZs, as well as when and how best to begin preparing.

Isaac Jones, CPA with Perkins & Co., discusses the evolution and benefits of Opportunity Zones, highlighting the initial confusion caused by the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act and the subsequent impact of the pandemic. The new Opportunity Zone Act 3 (OZ 3) makes the program permanent, providing more clarity and certainty. Investors must recognize a capital gain within 180 days and invest in a Qualified Opportunity Fund. Key benefits include deferred tax on capital gains, potential reduction of gains recognized, and tax-free appreciation if held for over 10 years. The program incentivizes investment in low-income communities, with ground-up development or substantial rehabs being ideal projects.

CMBS delinquencies are at their highest level since the Great Recession — but what does that really mean for multifamily investors? Jamison Manwaring unpacks the data behind rising commercial distress, explaining how interest rate spikes, construction booms, and tighter lending have collided to create today's challenges — and opportunities. We also break down how new legislation is reshaping real estate, from extended Opportunity Zones and renewed bonus depreciation to why 1031 exchanges and UPREIT structures remain intact. Finally, Jamison offers perspective on why long-term fundamentals for multifamily remain strong and why patient investors could benefit most in this cycle.

The Opportunity Zone industry's top professionals will gather in Las Vegas on December 3, 2025, for the Novogradac 2025 Opportunity Zones Summit, a one-day event at the Four Seasons dedicated to unpacking the next chapter of Opportunity Zones 2.0.

The One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA) is reshaping the tax landscape for real estate and, if you're a sponsor, developer, or investor, it's changing how you may approach deals. The biggest headlines: 100% bonus depreciation is back and permanent, unlocking year-one deductions and making cost segregation essential again; interest deductibility is easier, reducing the need for elections that previously limited depreciation; and the Opportunity Zone program is now permanent, with a map refresh in 2027 and new perks for rural areas. In this episode, Matt Peurach joins James O'Brien and Eric Greenberg to discuss how OBBBA is transforming the way real estate capital stacks are built and what sponsors should do in terms of re-underwriting current and pipeline projects, revisiting shelved deals, and preparing for the upcoming OZ redesign.

The One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA), signed into law July 4, made the opportunity zone (OZ) incentive a permanent part of the Internal Revenue Code. In this episode of the Tax Credit Tuesday podcast, Michael Novogradac, CPA, and Novogradac partner Jason Watkins, CPA, review the changes to OZs instituted by the OBBBA. They explore the Opportunity Zones (OZ) 2.0 Mapping Tool, which Novogradac launched Aug. 19. Novogradac and Watkins also discuss the emphasis on investing in rural areas for the next set of OZs, nominations which begin July 1, 2026. Finally, the pair the new reporting requirements for OZs and the upcoming "dead zone" for investments, which is projected by some to occur next year.
