Real estate is one of the most tax-advantaged investments in the country. With bonus depreciation, opportunity zone investing, 1031 exchanges, and more, investing in real estate is not only the best way to build wealth—it’s the key to tax-free (or deferred) wealth. So, with a Republican-controlled House and Senate, will new tax proposals favoring real estate investments pass?

We’ve got some news that could make 2025 a “game-changer” year for real estate investors. CPA Brandon Hall joins us to break it down.

With numerous proposals floated to restore 100% bonus depreciation, extend opportunity zone investments, and eliminate taxes on tips, overtime, and Social Security, 2025’s tax laws could look very different if these changes pass.

Plus, there’s one huge real estate tax write-off you’re (probably) not taking advantage of. Brandon shares how investors can write off even more during rehabs and renovations, using a specific tax deduction most investors have never heard of.
