  5. Inspire Wealth with Prof M: Understanding the Tax Code with Jon Connors

    FEB 3

    Inspire Wealth with Prof M: Understanding the Tax Code with Jon Connors

    For today's episode of the Inspire Wealth podcast with Prof M, Jon Connors, founder of LessTax Enterprises, cofounder of Tax-Free Gains, and author of Navigating the Tax Code to Riches, joins us. Jon believes in the power of real estate to drastically reduce tax liability while building wealth. EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS: * Tax Code Complexity: With the intricacy and extensiveness of the U.S. tax code, it is often compared to the Bible. Through AI tools, tax codes become more accessible and comprehensive. * Homeowner Deductions: Homeowners can deduct mortgage interest and property expenses including SALT (State and Local Taxes) capped at $10,000. * Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA): The 2017 TCJA made standard deductions more appealing, leading 90% of taxpayers to choose this option, reducing the benefits of itemizing deductions for homeowners. * Capital Gains Exclusion: When selling their primary residence, homeowners can exclude up to $250,000 in capital gains if they are single or $500,000 if they are married, provided they lived in the home for at least two of the last five years. * Capital gains exclusion is an attractive strategy for building wealth. However, not everyone utilizes this strategy due to various reasons. * Tax Code Strategies for High-Income Earners: 1. Short-Term Rental Tax Loophole 2. Depreciation Deductions 3. Cost Segregation 4. Consulting Professionals * Straight-Line Depreciation: Residential properties are depreciated over 27.5 years and commercial properties over 39 years, allowing annual deductions on the property's value (excluding land) from taxable income. * Accelerated Depreciation: This allows property owners to write off a larger portion of their property's cost early on, with some tax laws permitting up to 100% deduction in the first year, though this benefit has been reduced recently. * Cost Segregation Study: Analyzes a property’s components (like HVAC and flooring) to establish faster depreciation schedules, maximizing early tax deductions. * To qualify for the short-term rental loophole, properties must be rented out for short stays. Owners must actively manage the property to meet the required hours of involvement. * The "Peter Thiel Move": Peter Thiel grew billions tax-free by holding startup shares in a Roth IRA. For real estate, a similar strategy involves buying a low-cost property, such as a rural parking lot, through a self-directed IRA (SDIRA).

    Inspire Wealth with Prof M: How to Scale Real Estate Investments with Lane Kawaoka

    A 2x best-selling author, Lane Kawaoka, joins us to share his expert insights into navigating the financial world. From being an engineer, Lane builds his diverse real estate portfolio. His journey from acquiring his first rental property to successfully transitioning to syndication will inspire you to explore the dynamic world of real estate. EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS: Background: Lane was an engineer who turned into a real estate investor, specializing in multifamily syndications and private equity investments. Advice to First-Time Investors: 1. Understand the rent-to-value ratio 2. Explore and invest outside your backyard. 3. Focus on B-class or upper C-class properties for balanced affordability and tenant quality. Property Management: Property managers play a crucial role for investors who have less experience and busy schedules. Lane highlights that choosing to handle your own property could save you money but could limit scalability and cause legal and operational issues. Texas, Florida, Alabama, etc. are where Lane's portfolio is focused due to affordability, landlord-friendly laws, and economic development. Lane's scaling strategies include syndications and private equity funds where he benefits from reduced hands-on involvement and improved cash flow. Airplane Analogy: Syndication is like an airplane where the pilots are the general partners who do everything and the limited partners are the passengers who invest money and enjoy passive income without having to actively manage deals. With the population growth in the US, the demand for rental properties increases, making multifamily properties attractive investments. Expanding Beyond Real Estate: Lane explores business acquisitions focusing on services like HVAC, digital marketing agencies, and other income-producing assets. Transitioning from Rentals to Syndication: Through a podcast he started in 2016, he educated and built trust with his audience leading him to grow a network of 900+ investors.

Tune in for his invaluable insights into multifamily investing, market trends approach, and investing strategies. Learn how to achieve financial freedom through real estate investing with Arn and Prof M's actionable advice. EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS: * Background and Real Estate Path: Arn's passion for real estate transcended over his Master's degree in Chemistry. With decades of experience, his expertise evolved from single-family homes to multifamily syndication. * 1031 Exchanges: He avoided taxes by reinvesting in multifamily properties through 1031 exchanges, which are manageable with the right intermediary. * Multifamily Syndication: Due to capital constraints, Arn and his partners resorted to group investments, buying a 12-unit building. * Syndication: In this group investment strategy, investors pool funds to acquire larger commercial properties, involving two main roles: Limited Partners and General Partners. Investors are attracted to this model for passive income and performance-based compensation. * Local Expertise: Arn highlights that having a thorough understanding of the local real estate market is essential for success. Finding profitable investment prospects requires an understanding of the region and its potential. * Networking and Capital-Raising Strategies: 1. Social media - Arn stays active on Facebook and LinkedIn, and takes part in real estate investing podcasts to educate listeners. 2. Local Meetups and Community Involvement - Attending local real estate gatherings allows him to make connections with brokers, property managers, and contractors. 3. Organic Networking - He networks by sharing his experiences and activities rather than making sales pitches as he believes that someone will self-identify and get in touch when he is ready to invest or learn. 4. Spreading the Word: Arn emphasizes the importance of maintaining visibility in the real estate market. 5. Street Credibility: As you complete deals your reputation grows, thus opening doors for a larger network and more opportunities. * Portfolio Overview and Expansion: Arn is a GP in a $125 million portfolio with 1,000 units. His team manages investments in 400 units in South Carolina valued at $50 million. Their investment strategy emphasizes long-term holds with syndication deals lasting 5-7 years and utilizes fixed-rate debt for stability. * Advice for Beginners: Start small. Utilize owner-occupied loans with 3-5% down on properties like triplexes or fourplexes. This allows them to have tenants cover the mortgage while securing a long-term fixed-rate loan, serving as a stepping stone to a larger real estate portfolio. * Valuable Lessons from Arn's Journey: 1. Mistakes are inevitable. 2. Know when to move forward. 3. Don't over-leverage to avoid problems. 4. Investing consistently can lead to financial security. 5. Learn from your experience. * 2025 Real Estate Outlook: Arn sees market growth in the next 12 to 18 months, with interest rates potentially stabilizing around 4.5%. Long-term housing costs are likely to increase due to rising demand and strong foreign investments, keeping U.S. real estate appealing. * Book Recommendation: Who Not How by Dan Sullivan Arn Cenedella Website: https://investwithspark.com/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/arn.cenedella LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/arncenedella/ Mallory Meehan Website: https://www.inspirewealthmgt.com/ Spotify: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/prof-mallory Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/inspire-wealth-through-real-estate-investing-w-prof/id1760185297 YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@MalloryInspiresWealth For collaborations: ruby@inspirewealthmgt.com
