Jason discusses saving on taxes with returning guest CPA Amanda Han. He emphasizes the significance of taxes as life's largest expense and the benefits of real estate investment for tax savings. Jason highlights the record number of mortgage-free homeowners in the US, attributing the slight decline to increased investor interest in leveraging investments. Using an interactive map, he illustrates regional variations in mortgage-free homeownership, noting higher percentages in linear markets. Hartman advises prudent investment in linear and hybrid markets for lower downside risk and better long-term returns. Then Jason and Amanda, a certified public accountant and author, discussed the potential negative impact of the 2024 budget proposal on real estate investors, the benefits of cost segregation for tax reduction, and the advantages of being a real estate professional. They also highlighted the importance of tax planning, the depreciation schedule for breast implants, and the potential for cost segregation. Lastly, they cautioned against tax misconceptions and encouraged listeners to consult with their CPAs for maximum tax benefits. https://www.jasonhartman.com/costseg/ https://www.keystonecpa.com/ #RealEstateTaxSavings #CostSegregationHack #AccelerateDepreciation #RentalPropertyTaxTip #TaxProTip #RealEstateInvesting #TaxSavings #MortgageFree #LinearMarkets #InvestmentStrategy #FinancialAdvice #WealthBuilding #PropertyOwnership #MarketAnalysis #EconomicInsights #AssetAllocation #SmartInvesting   Key Takeaways: Jason's editorial 1:29 Life's greatest expense 2:17 Free and clear houses 3:18 Economic cushion 5:50 Mortgage-free owners; interactive map Amanda Han interview 11:14 Welcome Amanda Han 11:57 Taxes- the silent wealth killer 14:52 Cost segregation and other tax write offs 20:17 Who can and should use it 24:19 A few misconceptions of cost seg 26:09 Being a RE professional 29:47 Going to ZERO tax 31:43 More benefits  37:25 Take time to plan   Follow Jason on TWITTER, INSTAGRAM & LINKEDIN Twitter.com/JasonHartmanROI Instagram.com/jasonhartman1/ Linkedin.com/in/jasonhartmaninvestor/ Call our Investment Counselors at: 1-800-HARTMAN (US) or visit: https://www.jasonhartman.com/ Free Class:  Easily get up to $250,000 in funding for real estate, business or anything else: http://JasonHartman.com/Fund CYA Protect Your Assets, Save Taxes & Estate Planning: http://JasonHartman.com/Protect Get wholesale real estate deals for investment or build a great business – Free Course: https://www.jasonhartman.com/deals Special Offer from Ron LeGrand: https://JasonHartman.com/Ron Free Mini-Book on Pandemic Investing: https://www.PandemicInvesting.com
