How I Legally Pay $0 In Taxes (cost segregation and bonus depreciation)

Video Description

How do real estate investors legally pay little to no federal income tax? In this video, I break down exactly how cost segregation and bonus depreciation work—and how I personally use these strategies in my real estate portfolio to dramatically reduce my tax bill. Cost segregation is one of the most powerful tax strategies available to real estate investors. When used correctly, it allows you to accelerate depreciation, create large paper losses, and offset income from real estate, W-2 income, and even active business income in some cases. When paired with bonus depreciation, this strategy can result in paying $0 in federal income taxes—legally. In this video, you’ll learn: • What cost segregation is and how it works • How bonus depreciation accelerates tax savings • Why real estate gets special treatment in the tax code • How depreciation can offset income without selling properties • Who cost segregation is best for (and when it doesn’t make sense) • Common mistakes investors make with depreciation • How high-income earners use real estate to legally reduce taxes This is not theory—I’m walking through real-world examples and explaining how these tax strategies are actually used by real estate investors, business owners, and high-income professionals. If you’re investing in rental properties, multifamily, short-term rentals, or commercial real estate—and want to understand how investors legally minimize or eliminate federal income taxes—this video will give you a clear, practical explanation.
