Tax Strategy Foundation for Real Estate Investors
Beat the IRS
At their own game
THE GOVERNMENT REWARDS REAL ESTATE INVESTORS THROUGH TAX INCENTIVES... ARE YOU MAXIMIZING YOUR POTENTIAL?
We review 100+ tax returns from prospective clients every single month, and guess what? Most real estate investors pay too much in taxes because they aren't implementing simple-to-execute tax strategies.
Why?
They don't know how to use the many tax strategies that exist.
Watch this video:
The Tax Code is public information that anyone can access. But our government has made it incredibly complex to understand.
So complex, that unless you're reading the Code full-time, you're not going to be aware of every way to mitigate taxes.
What's worse is when a real estate investor hears about some super-cool tax strategy and implements it without proper guidance.
You can guess the result: poorly filled out tax returns choc full of mistakes that leads to an audit. And investors HATE audits.
Complexity leads to fear... fear leads to inaction... inaction leads to higher tax bills.
We're here to change that.
We're here to change that.
Here's the simple truth:
If you knew the fundamentals of the tax strategies available to you, you'd reduce your taxes by thousands of dollars... confidently.
Knowing what tax strategies are available to you and how to implement them is half the battle.
You also need to learn the timing to fully optimize your tax position.
Most investors expect their CPAs to proactively bring tax reduction ideas to them. But then they are bummed when the CPA misses an opportunity.
Investing in education on the fundamentals will protect your hard earned money from Uncle Sam.
By knowing what tax moves to make, and when, you'll free yourself of being beholden to sub-par advisors.
Instead, you'll be able to better leverage their expertise by having clearer conversations because you'll know what questions to ask.
But taxes are complicated... where do you start?
It's time to get Tax Smart...
You CAN learn the fundamentals in a short amount of time and start taking advantage of the Tax Code
And you can do it without...
- Spending hundreds of hours reading confusing articles online
- Spending thousands of dollars with 1-on-1 tax planning
- Getting bad advice from CPAs who don't understand real estate
Enter...

Many students end up amending tax returns during our course and asking their tax advisors/education gurus for citations to back up previously stated advice... because we showed them how real estate investors can actually leverage the Tax Code in their favor.
"My goal is to empower real estate investors to the point where they know what to look for in their tax return, to make sure no opportunities are missed. And I want to make sure that their knowledge reaches a level where they understand how they can use the law, and their tax preparer, to their advantage."

About Your Instructors Brandon Hall & Thomas Castelli
Brandon started a tax firm designed for real estate investors back in 2015. His parents were investing at the time and he realized there was a lack of quality tax advice on the market.
In the early days, he built the firm by helping real estate investors answer tax questions on online forums such as BiggerPockets. The firm now consists of over 40 employees servicing over 800 investors nationwide.
We first had the idea for this course when speaking to potential clients on sales calls. We were talking to ~50 investors a week (it was exhausting) and over time came to realize two things:
(1) most investors had mistakes and missed opportunities buried in their tax returns; and
(2) only a fraction of the investors I spoke with could afford, or were willing to pay for, CPA services.
This was frustrating for us. Being a real estate investors ourselves, we value information that helps portfolios run better. We we're talking to hundreds of landlords each month identifying tax mistakes and missed opportunities that cost them thousands of dollars.
So we created this tax course. We wanted to cover everything from the basics to the complex tax issues you may face in your investing career. We wanted to deep dive into these topics... not just gloss over them.
And we figured a community group for course students is key to further your understanding by allowing you to ask questions that we can answer.
The goal is simple: empower you to make better tax decisions with or without a tax advisor.
