Real Estate investing is seen as the holy grail of passive income and wealth independence. One of the popular facets of real estate investing is the tax advantage that much of the IRS code provides to the owner/operator. High on the list of cocktail party chatter topics is the concept of COST SEGREGATION. It is a way to deconstruct the components of real estate developments, depreciate them faster than the normal life of a building and net the deductions against other income. To explain this concept, MITCHELL BALDRIDGE joins the podcast. The Texas-based CPA and CFP will take us through the ins and outs of Cost Segregation Studies and discuss the importance of solid bookkeeping and delegation for entrepreneurs and other business operators
