The IRS Allows This… But Most Investors Don’t Use It
The IRS Allows This… But Most Investors Don’t Use It
Welcome back to another episode of the ROI Masterclass, where we break down the strategies driving real results in real estate.
Today’s guest is Brenten Blakeman, a specialist at the intersection of finance, real estate, and tax strategy, helping investors unlock hidden value through smarter planning.
Brenten began his career in gift and estate tax valuations, working closely with high-net-worth individuals and gaining a behind-the-scenes look at how wealth is structured, and preserved. That experience led him to a powerful realization: real estate isn’t just an asset class, it’s one of the most tax-advantaged wealth-building tools available.
He later transitioned into commercial real estate, where he discovered his niche in cost segregation and advanced tax strategy, guiding investors on how to optimize returns, increase cash flow, and leverage the tax code to their advantage.
Now based in Scottsdale, Arizona, Brenten works with investors across the country, helping them uncover opportunities that are often overlooked—even by experienced professionals.
Beyond his work in real estate, Brenten also co-runs a nonprofit foundation supporting ALS research and patient care, continuing the legacy of his mother—an inspiring trailblazer and one of the first female Senate pages—whose impact continues to shape his mission and drive.
In this episode, we dive into:
How cost segregation really works (and why it’s misunderstood)
The power of front-loading depreciation
Tax strategies investors are leaving money on the table with
The importance of building a “real estate super team”
And how to think about long-term ROI beyond just the deal
Get ready for a deep dive into the financial side of real estate, and the hidden opportunities that can significantly change your returns.
