In this podcast episode, we dive into the topic of cost segregations, a valuable tool for investors to extract extra passive losses that may potentially be used on personal taxes. We discuss the impact of recent Fed rate cuts, market reactions, and why some investors prefer private equity over stocks. Later, we explore the benefits of cost segregation in real estate, including accelerated depreciation and bonus depreciation, and how they can lead to significant tax savings. Our guest AJ Alliance from DIY Cost Seg explains the fundamentals of cost segregation, who should consider it, and different levels of studies available.
