Want to pay LESS tax on your rental properties? 🚨

Full video on my YouTube! https://youtu.be/CTzChknzjJ4 Want to pay LESS tax on your rental properties? 🚨 The rules on depreciation, write-offs, and avoiding capital gains are confusing—but they can save (or cost!) you thousands. We just put a tax expert in the hot seat to answer the toughest questions. Here are the 3 must-know topics we covered: DEPRECIATION: How long should you hold a property to maximize your write-offs, and what is the recapture cost? THE EXPENSE SECRET: We break down the difference between a repair (instant write-off!) and an improvement (depreciated over years). Don't confuse the two! 1031 LEGACY: The strict timelines to defer taxes + how "stepped-up basis" can wipe out taxes for your heirs. Tune in and make sure you're not making the biggest tax mistake that could jeopardize your next deal!

A 50-year mortgage… is this really happening?! 👀

This week, Rick and I break down the newly proposed 50-year loan program that's gaining support from Freddie, Fannie, and other secondary market investors. Rick explains how this option could help buyers by lowering monthly payments, especially for people who don't plan to stay in their homes for the full 50 years but want short-term affordability. But — as always — there's a flip side. 🌀 While the 50-year mortgage might benefit some buyers, it also means paying more interest over time, and it's definitely not the right fit for everyone. I also share my concerns about what this program says about today's affordability challenges… because if we need 50-year mortgages to make housing attainable, what does that really mean for the bigger picture? 🤔 If you're curious about where the market is heading and how this could impact homebuyers, you won't want to miss this one! 🎧 Tune in to Straight Talk with Rick and Meghan — available on all podcast platforms.

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍
Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
