Discover how multifamily investors reduce their tax burden using three powerful moves the IRS fully allows. In this training, Peter breaks down the tax principles behind real estate ownership — including why income follows assets, why W‑2 earners pay the highest tax rates, and how multifamily properties unlock deductions a paycheck can never provide.You’ll learn:How depreciation creates “paper losses” that reduce taxable incomeHow accelerated depreciation (cost segregation) increases deductionsHow 100% bonus depreciation can create massive first‑year tax savingsHow rental properties legally offset income, capital gains, and future taxesWhy owning assets — not earning more W‑2 income — is the path to keeping more of what you earnThis session simplifies complex tax concepts into clear, beginner‑friendly examples so you can understand exactly how multifamily investors pay less and build wealth faster.Student Spotlight: Chris spent 20+ years in a traditional W‑2 career before realizing it wasn’t enough to secure his future. He purchased three off‑market six‑unit multifamily properties, all funded through his retirement accounts — and used cost segregation studies to erase his tax liability. Today, Chris is a full‑time multifamily investor whose tax savings, cash flow, and appreciation have completely transformed his financial life. His story shows how even small multifamily deals can unlock powerful tax advantages.Tuesdays with Peter LIVE!
