A Cross-Border Accountant Explains US Taxes for Canadians | Brian Cohen

Author: Tom, Nick, and Anthony from the Rock Star Inner Circle July 31, 2026 Duration: 55:42

Brian Cohen breaks down what Canadians need to know before investing in US real estate or starting a US business. 

He explains the costly LLC double-tax trap, how the right structure (like a C-Corp "blocker") can fix it, and how US estate tax and Canada's departure tax come into play.

Whether you own one rental or plan to move, this is the clear, no-jargon tax guide to doing it right from day one.

Ever feel like the conventional path isn't quite cutting it? The Your Life! Your Terms! Show digs into that restlessness, offering a candid space for Canadians looking to redesign their financial and personal landscape. Hosted by Tom and Nick Karadza, founders of Rock Star Real Estate, alongside Anthony Molinaro, this podcast pulls back the curtain on building income and freedom beyond a single salary. Their conversations are rooted in the practical world of real estate investing and entrepreneurship, but they naturally wander into broader territory-discussing economic shifts, the implications of assets like bitcoin, and even how personal health ties into sustained success. What you’ll hear are unfiltered discussions and real-world strategies, the kind shared among peers rather than preached from a stage. It’s the audio extension of the work they do through the Rock Star Inner Circle, where actionable insight matters more than theory. Tuning in feels like grabbing a seat at a table with three guys who have been in the trenches, ready to share what actually works, what doesn’t, and how to navigate the complexities of creating a life on your own terms. Each episode is built on the premise that more control is possible, whether you're just starting to question the grind or are already deep in building your own portfolio.
