About Constance Kawa-Small:

I know I am still a small fish in this vast real estate investment ocean, but it’s okay. I’m learning, setting goals, pushing forward, and working on making things happen. My sailor plans to retire at 22 years of service--which is 5 years from now. My goal is to offset his retirement with passive income from our rentals. You may say "that's a pretty good goal", but know this: if one does not break a goal down into action plans--all we’re really doing is daydreaming. My goal is to own at least 50 rental units within 5 years. This year, I plan on closing on at least 10 doors. I’m not 100% sure how to achieve that full number yet, but I’m working on it--one deal at a time.

Join Oscar and German Buendia (The Millionaire Enlisted Podcast) and Yonah Weiss (Madison SPECS) as they chat about Cost Segregation and how it can benefit your business. Cost Segregation, as Yonah says, is like a tax deduction for real estate owners or a more advanced form of depreciation. He further breaks it down, shares the process for evaluation and his opinions about taxes considering the recent changes in the tax law. By the end of this episode, you will learn what Cost Segregation is, which options are applicable for you, how much it costs, and when it would be best to utilize it. Many intellectual people aren’t even aware of this, so stay tuned and enjoy the podcast! ~ About Yonah Weiss: Ask me how I can lower your income tax: · Do you own property worth over $1,000,000? (excluding personal residence) · Purchased, developed or renovated within the last 5 years? · Do you want major income tax savings? I've been interviewed on over 70 PODCASTS (see below in experience section for some links) The benefits of the significant tax deductions from Cost Segregation include: · Maximize annual depreciation · Reduce upfront income tax costs · Lower cost of capital · Improve cash flow · Ability to write-off individual assets in the future when removed. 

✳ As Business Director for Madison SPECS, I provide you with expert, engineering-based cost segregation studies. 

✳ Cost Segregation is an IRS -approved process for reclassifying real estate components and improvements to accelerate depreciation deductions, defer taxes and improve cash flow. 

✳ Our in-house team of engineers and accountants combine tax and engineering strategies to analyze construction contracts and building plans in order to identify those assets that qualify for accelerated depreciation for tax purposes. 

✳ We always perform a no-cost feasibility analysis on your property to demonstrate the financial benefit, on a year-by-year basis, of having such a study performed vs. not performing the study. Which types of properties can benefit? Multifamily, Office, Retail, Mixed-use, Hotels, Golf Courses, Mobile-home parks, Shopping centers, Restaurants, Skilled Nursing Facilities, Industrial, Flex, Banks, Self-storage. Did I leave anything out? If I did, it can probably benefit too! In short...ALL types of properties 

🌎 We work in ALL 50 states.
