Welcome to another episode of the Life Changing Money podcast!

If you own real estate, want to start investing, or have ever wondered what really qualifies as a write-off, this episode is for you. I’m answering real-life questions from my students and breaking down powerful, overlooked strategies that could save you thousands in taxes. From ADU deductions and Airbnb structuring to gifting properties to family—this solo episode is packed with clarity, compliance tips, and must-know tax moves. 

In this episode, I’m unpacking questions like:

• Can you build an ADU and write it off as an office?
• Are fixer-upper renovations tax deductible for interior designers?
• Can rental losses offset your day job income?
• Do property expenses count even if you didn’t rent it out yet?
• Bought your mom a house? Here's how to do it the right way
• What happens when you open an LLC after you’ve already bought rental properties?
• Why your mindset about “refunds” and “losses” might be costing you big time
