In this week’s episode of the Tax Smart REI Podcast, Thomas Castelli and Ryan Carriere break down what real estate investors need to know about the upcoming 2025 tax bill, including where it stands, what’s likely to be included, and how it could impact your bottom line.

Key topics covered:

- Expected return of 100% bonus depreciation
- Potential changes to the SALT deduction cap
- How to properly log hours for REPS (Real Estate Professional Status)
- Using the STR loophole for boutique hotels
- Depreciating furniture in furnished rentals
- Grouping LP losses with active rentals
- Why tax planning still matters, even if you don’t qualify for REPS or STR

Plus, we tackle common mistakes CPAs make and discuss whether setting up a property management company for your own rentals actually makes sense.
