You put in the hours, do what you're told is “right,” but the numbers never seem to add up. It's like chasing a finish line that keeps moving, while watching others take completely different routes and somehow end up ahead. At some point, it's natural to wonder if the whole system was designed to keep you just comfortable enough not to question it. That quiet frustration builds, until you start looking for something that actually makes sense. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iwXRbX4rPNY Dr. Johnoson Crutchfield went from school principal to full-time real estate investor after realizing his career wouldn't fund the life he wanted.

On this week's episode, I sit down with Thomas Castelli, real estate-focused CPA and partner at Hall CPA, to dive deep into real, practical tax strategies that can save investors thousands. If you've ever wondered whether your CPA is leaving money on the table, this episode will confirm your suspicion and give you the tools to fix it.   Thomas shares eye-opening stories of tax returns gone wrong, the truth behind cost segregation and depreciation, and how strategic planning done proactively can unlock massive wealth preservation.    Whether you're a seasoned investor or just closing your first deal, these are the systems, mistakes, and mindset shifts that separate the average from the elite.   Key Talking Points of the Episode   00:00 Introduction 02:41 From accounting student to real estate investor to real estate CPA 04:02 Why generalist CPAs often cost investors money 05:14 The myth of “you can't take more than $25K in losses”—and how pros work around it 06:10 How depreciation offsets income and reduces your effective tax rate 07:17 The $50K case study: a CPA missed cost segregation, costing a client dearly 08:18 Advisory vs. compliance: why strategy beats paperwork 10:02 Common mistakes: missed depreciation, unreported insurance, and more 12:02 Opting out of bonus depreciation—when it helps and when it hurts 14:47 What is cost segregation? 18:12 Which items can be carved out in a cost seg: carpets, appliances, sheds & more 19:15 Should you run a cost seg if you plan to sell in 2 years? 21:36 Get in touch with Thomas and his team 22:26 Why real estate is the best long-term tax strategy in America 24:30 Tax planning isn't a luxury—it's your responsibility   Quotables   “Most CPAs are generalists. If they don't live in real estate, they don't know what to look for.”   “Your tax return is a report card for what already happened. If you want to influence it, you have to act now.”   “This is like surgery. You don't do it yourself. You call the right specialist.”   Links   Tax Smart Real Estate Investors Podcast https://www.therealestatecpa.com/podcasts/   Hall CPA http://smartrealestatecoach.com/hallcpa   QLS Live https://qlslive.com   Real Estate On Your Terms and Deal Structure Overtime https://wickedsmartbooks.com/podcast   FREE Master's Class http://smartrealestatecoach.com/masterspodcast   FREE Strategy Session with Chris Pre http://smartrealestatecoach.com/actionpodcast   QLS 4.0 https://smartrealestatecoach.com/qlspodcast   Investor Resources https://smartrealestatecoach.com/resources   Apprentice Program https://smartrealestatecoach.com/apprenticepodcast   In the Trenches Bootcamp https://smartrealestatecoach.com/ittbpodcast   3 Paydays Virtual Event https://smartrealestatecoach.com/3paydayspodcast   REI Blackbook https://smartrealestatecoach.com/REIBB-DD   7 Figures Funding https://smartrealestatecoach.com/7figures-pod
