Discover how multifamily investors reduce their tax burden using three powerful moves the IRS fully allows. In this training, Peter breaks down the tax principles behind real estate ownership — including why income follows assets, why W‑2 earners pay the highest tax rates, and how multifamily properties unlock deductions a paycheck can never provide.

You’ll learn:

• How depreciation creates “paper losses” that reduce taxable income
• How accelerated depreciation (cost segregation) increases deductions
• How 100% bonus depreciation can create massive first‑year tax savings
• How rental properties legally offset income, capital gains, and future taxes
• Why owning assets — not earning more W‑2 income — is the path to keeping more of what you earn

This session simplifies complex tax concepts into clear, beginner‑friendly examples so you can understand exactly how multifamily investors pay less and build wealth faster.

Student Spotlight: 
Chris spent 20+ years in a traditional W‑2 career before realizing it wasn’t enough to secure his future. He purchased three off‑market six‑unit multifamily properties, all funded through his retirement accounts — and used cost segregation studies to erase his tax liability. Today, Chris is a full‑time multifamily investor whose tax savings, cash flow, and appreciation have completely transformed his financial life. His story shows how even small multifamily deals can unlock powerful tax advantages.

Discover how one well‑chosen multifamily property can produce three different income streams — giving you more stability, more cash flow potential, and a higher property value over time. In this training, Peter breaks down the 1‑5‑3 Advantage: 1 property, 5 units, 3 income strategies.

This model is designed to help you:

• Start small without limiting your potential
• Generate big returns from optimized small deals
• Match each unit to the right income strategy
• Underwrite deals so they can’t hurt you

You’ll also learn how to spot multi‑income opportunities and determine whether your property qualifies for short‑term or mid‑term rentals using three simple tests.

Student Spotlight: 
Isamarie began in single‑family but transitioned to multifamily using the 1‑5‑3 Advantage. She now owns a fully furnished 5‑unit lakefront property designed for flexible demand — short‑term, mid‑term, and long‑term renters all in one building. This single property allowed her to leave her high‑paying civil engineering job and be home with her children. One property. Multiple income streams. A completely new life.
