Welcome to another episode of the Life Changing Money podcast!

This episode was packed with one of my favorite topics—how real estate can transform your business revenue into lasting wealth. As a business owner, you're already making money… Now it's time to make that money work harder for you. I broke down the tax strategies that have saved my clients tens of thousands of dollars, from self-rental rules to cost segregation to home office deductions. Real estate isn’t just an investment, it’s a tool to lower your tax bill, build equity, and create generational wealth. And no, you don’t need to have it all figured out or even start big… Just get started.

If you’re serious about keeping more of your income and multiplying your assets, this episode was made for you.

In this episode, I pulled back the curtain on exactly how real estate becomes the ultimate tax strategy for business owners who want to build generational wealth:

• Revenue ≠ Wealth: I explain why making money isn't enough—you need to convert that income into appreciating, income-generating assets like real estate to truly build wealth.
• Dual-Purpose Power: Real estate works in two ways—it saves you money on taxes and grows your net worth through appreciation, cash flow, and loan leverage.
• Start with What You Own: You don’t need a ton of capital to begin—turning your current home into a rental, tapping into your equity, or using a HELOC (Home Equity Line of Credit) are all smart entry points.
• Tax Savings Strategies: I walk through home office deductions, rental property write-offs, and the powerful self-rental aggregation election that can save you tens of thousands by applying real estate losses to active business income.
• Cost Segregation = Game Changer: Most real estate investors miss this—getting a cost seg study on your property can unlock massive depreciation in year one, which means instant tax savings.
