If you've ever wondered what House Hacking is all about, or why it makes sense, this is the episode you don't want to miss. Our expert panel will talk you through every step: how to find the right property, how to secure financing & renovation loans, and how to find the right tenants.

Real Estate Investing offers one of the greatest paths to long-term wealth. However, one of the most important components of building that long-term wealth is often overlooked, or approached with dread & fear. Of course, I'm talking about taxes.
Today, in an effort to get past that fear & confusion, we delve into the tax benefits and reporting methods of real estate investing with Duane Culver, CPA and President of Culver CPA Group.
Duane is going to talk us through year-end tax reporting and what you should know if your are a wholesaler, flipper, rehab-er, or buy & hold investor. Duane explains terms like 'depreciation' & 'basis', the difference between investment & business income, what is a balance sheet and profit & loss statement, retirement planning & IRA's, as well as common mistakes different types of investors typically make when they fill out their tax forms.
If you're about to sit down & do your own taxes, or you have a professional prepare them, it pays to learn as much as possible about tax rules & how they apply to real estate investing. The more you understand, the more you'll be able to use tax law to your advantage, avoid mistakes, and prevent IRS audits.

Twenty years ago, Jeff Wilson attended a free Robert Allen Seminar and shortly after purchased his first Single Family Rental Property for $10,000. That successful investment was the beginning of a portfolio that would take him from Cleveland to Grand Rapids, through boom and bust, and ultimately to a point where he is preparing his properties to see him through retirement.
Jeff and I discuss the up's and down's of his investing career, buying HUD properties, selling on Land Contract, working with Section 8 tenants, and his philosophy of improving his properties by putting the cash flow back into capital expenses.
Jeff is also a successful entrepreneur, and I know you'll enjoy listening to his straight-forward advice on owning, managing, and profiting from rental property.
