76: Beat the IRS at Their Own Game! TAX SMART Investing, The Real Estate CPA, Brandon Hall

The Short Term Rental Profits Show

Jason Hartman welcomes back Brandon Hall, CEO of Hall CPA to talk about tax strategies for real estate investors. If you're a real estate investor, you really have to know the passive loss rules - you can’t afford not to! As Jason always says, taxes are the single largest expense in most people's lives, yet people spend so little time understanding the tax code and learning how they can benefit from it.

Brandon Hall shares multiple strategies and educates you on the ways you can significantly reduce and potentially even eliminate your tax bill through short term rentals and the passive activity loss rules of Section 469.
