To maximize your wealth engine's torque, you must prevent your revenue from leaking out to the tax collector. In this episode of 9-to-Wealth, we tackle advanced financial engineering with Joseph Viery, founder of USTAGI and a seasoned Cost Segregation Professional who has masterminded thousands of IRS-compliant studies since 2007.

​We dive deep into our headline topic: "How to Legally Keep More of Your Real Estate Income Without Taking More Risk." Joseph unbolts the mechanical reality of cost segregation, showing how to physically deconstruct a property to accelerate its depreciation timeline and legally eliminate massive chunks of income tax. We address the tough operational questions: Are accelerated tax strategies an audit trigger? How do passive investors leverage these offsets? And how can you stack energy tax credits on top of your existing layout to build macroeconomic resilience? If you own real estate or want to invest like a sophisticated wealth architect, this episode contains the exact technical specs you need.
