Join Daniel Nickles with his guest Erik Oliver as we discuss how cost segregation frees up your liquidity and improve cash flow as a real estate investor. As the cost segregation expert that he is, Erik gives us a detailed overview of what cost segregation could mean for anyone investing in real estate. In his own simple terms, cost segregation is basically just your property's appreciation on high speed. Erik explains what cost segregation means, what bonus depreciation is in relation to cost segregation, and the basics of cost segregation for newly closed deals. 

In this episode you will learn: 

• Cost segregation increases the benefits you get by owning real estate 

• The documents necessary for cost segregation 

About Erik Oliver: 

Erik Oliver is the marketing director of Cost Segregation Authority. 

Cost Segregation is used by commercial building owners to increase cash flow by accelerating depreciation. Depending on the type of building, there can be anywhere from 20 to 35% and sometimes more of the depreciable basis that can accelerated, translating into tens of thousands if not hundreds of thousands of dollars in current year tax savings. Consider the value of having and being able to use those tax dollars today vs. spreading them out over 27.5 or 39 years.  

Cost Segregation can be used at pretty much anytime during the cycle of building ownership, including new construction, current acquisitions, previous acquisitions going back as much as ten or fifteen years, large improvement projects, following a step in basis from a change of ownership or estate transfer, and sometimes even at disposition to offset some of a capital gain.  

Cost Segregation is an engineering-based analysis of a building's interior, exterior and land improvements in order to identify, measure and quantify assets that are considered personal property or land improvements under the federal tax code. Those assets are then re-classifying in order to accelerate their depreciation.

Want to learn more about passive income?

Join Daniel Nickles with his guest Anthony Faso and Cameron Christiansen as they talk about what infinite banking proves to be in the face of IRAs and financial planning. After the 2008 crisis, what typical financial advisors tell their clients just began to lose its charm for the two. In this episode, Anthony Faso and Cameron Christiansen summarize what Rich Dad Poor Dad, and Becoming Your Own Banker is all about and why the infinite banking concept is not as complicated as it seems. 

In this episode you will learn: 

• After 2008, the typical financial advice just didn't work 

• The problem with IRAs 

About Anthony Faso and Cameron Christiansen: 

Anthony Faso and Cameron Christiansen are founders of Infinite Wealth Consultants and hosts of the Infinite Wealth Podcast. A proud U.S. Army veteran and self-described "recovering" CPA, Anthony has worked at the world's largest accounting firm and served as CFO of a chain of restaurants. However, after the 2008 recession, he realized that the solution to financial freedom would never be found in the latest Wall Street-created financial product.  

As he was discovering what his path to financial independence would look like, he was also teaching and coaching individuals and business owners about money and investing. Having been a small business owner for eight years, Cameron was frustrated with investment solutions proposed by traditional financial advisors.  

This frustration is what led him to discover infinite banking and real estate investing. After advising others for over a decade, Cameron now brings his expertise in passive income generation and cash flow analysis to his partnership with Anthony. As followers of the principles of Robert Kiyosaki, the author of Rich Dad, Poor Dad, Anthony, and Cameron help their clients to be financially independent.  

Not just in dollars, but also in a sense. They educate clients on making sound financial decisions and coach them on investing in assets that have certainty, control, and collateral. Infinite Wealth clients are not subject to the roller coaster of the stock market.
