What do you do when a real estate syndication or fund exits an asset, but you can't use a traditional 1031 exchange because you own an LLC interest rather than direct real property? You turn to the "Lazy Man's 1031 Exchange."
In this episode of the Big Mike Fund Podcast, host Mike Zlotnik sits down with Matt Hamilton, CPA and founder of Surefire Tax and Accounting, to unpack advanced tax reduction strategies for commercial real estate investors and fund managers. Matt breaks down how to strategically harvest passive losses using front-loaded bonus depreciation to completely wipe out passive capital gains in the same tax year.

In this episode of the Big Mike Fund podcast, host Mike Zlotnik is joined by Chase MacLeod, CEO and founder of MacLeod and Company, a boutique industrial and commercial real estate brokerage that has completed over $900 million in transactions. Chase breaks down the massive shift happening in industrial real estate across three key markets: Dallas-Fort Worth, Southern California's Inland Empire, and Miami. Discover why Dallas-Fort Worth is experiencing an unprecedented boom driven by AI data centers and their massive component supply chains, leading to millions of square feet in leasing requirements. Chase also explains the contrasting environment in the Inland Empire, where high vacancy rates are giving tenants unprecedented leverage, yet strict regulations like California's AB 98 make new warehouse development near residential areas nearly impossible. Finally, learn how global logistics, including Asian third-party logistics companies, are fueling port-driven demand in Miami, Savannah, and Houston.

Adam and Mike dive deep into why traditional wealth management models might be draining your long-term returns through compounding 1% AUM fees. They break down the "New 60/40 Portfolio"βa strategy inspired by the legendary Yale Endowment (Swensen model) that shifts 60% of your retirement capital into non-correlated alternative assets like real estate, hard money loans, private equity, and gold, leaving only 40% in traditional equities. You'll learn how IRA Financial completely eliminated stacked broker fees by building an all-in-one platform partnering with Interactive Brokers, allowing you to seamlessly trade traditional stocks, crypto, and physical real estate under a single, low flat fee. They also discuss market concentration risks in the S&P 500, inflation-hedging strategies, and the timeless books that inspire their entrepreneurial mindsets.
