In this episode, Robert and Romeo Clarke discuss:

• Escaping the rat race through active investment and tax reduction
• How depreciation works and what’s cost-segregation
• Advice for anyone facing an audit

Key Takeaways:

• Be mindful of the numbers - know the cashflow you expect and calculate for depreciation. 
• Real-estate property is made out of different pieces which all have different depreciation rates. Accelerate your depreciation over five years because when depreciation increases, the loss in your tax is increased also and you could use that to produce ordinary income. 
• When facing an audit, talk to a professional who can negotiate the best outcome for you. Don’t talk to the IRS, they can use anything against you. If you don’t have experience on how they work, they’re going to look out for the IRS, not for you. 

"If you don’t have the documentation, you don’t have the deduction. Keep your receipts… in a nice folder, everything in a nice place." —  Romeo Clarke

• Managing a property and doing it on your own

Key Takeaways:

• Make every experience an asset - ask yourself how you can learn from your mistakes, that will give a positive value to those experiences.

"The fact that I screwed up was the biggest profitable thing I could’ve done. Messing up on that deal allowed me to see what I did wrong. Instead of quitting… I kept the house and rented it for the past 17 years… I’ve more than made my money. " —  Regulo Olvera

In this episode, Robert discusses: 

• The first big mistake - buying everything zero down
• Buying with negative cash flow and buying properties without a plan
• Land development mishaps and lastly, flipping houses

Key Takeaways:

• It’s possible to buy property with no money, but this is a big mistake. Don’t buy property if you don’t have any money to pay for it. It sounds good, but if it goes sideways, you’re going to lose a lot of money.
• Dig deep into planning your expenses, be mindful of your cashflow.
• If you don’t have a plan, you’ll never know once you’ve reached your objectives. If you don’t have a goal, you’ll just keep buying and buying.
• When you go to an auction of a foreclosed property, you don’t get to go through the entire house, you don’t get to look at the plumbing or the electrical system, or the floorings and appliances.

"The lure of easy money is much like following the siren’s song. You have to be careful because the siren isn’t there to be your friend. The banks aren’t there to be your friend." —  Robert Slattery
