Turn Tax Laws into Investment Advantages
Profit isn’t Just What You Make,
it’s What You Keep!
with Carel Lampel
Tax planning season is almost here, and for real estate investors, it’s more than just paperwork. The right tax strategy can mean the difference between keeping your profits or watching them disappear. With constantly changing laws and regulations, knowing where to start can feel overwhelming. That’s where expert guidance comes in. Whether you’re a seasoned investor or just getting started, Carey Lampel and the team at EBS Business Tax Services can help you prepare, protect your profits, and plan smarter for the year ahead.
Topics that will be discussed:
- When to set up an LLC and how many do you need?
- What state do you recommend setting up the LLCs in?
- When to Incorporate?
- Should I operate as a Sole Proprietorship?
- What’s the difference between an LLC and a Corporation?
- What do living trusts do?
- Is the new "Big Beautiful Bill" really that Big and Beautiful?
- What’s going on with short-term rentals? Are they really tax beneficial?
- What is the 179 election, and can I use it?
- Does buying real estate always help with taxes?
- What is a Real Estate Professional and how do I qualify (and why should I care?)
We’ll wrap up with a Q&A, so bring your tax questions!
