Have you ever wondered how the pros shave thousands off their taxes with investment properties? That's exactly what we're unpacking in today's Real Estate Explainer podcast. Join me, Brian Kiczula, as I take you through the maze of cost segregation studies, breaking down the complex process into bite-sized, actionable insights.

We're getting into the nitty-gritty of asset categories and how differentiating between five, seven, and fifteen-year properties versus the longer haul of 27.5 and 39 years can significantly swing your tax pendulum. Tune in to hear how those in the commercial and residential realms can optimize their tax positions.
