Description

Build steady cash flow, pay down debt with tenant dollars, and unlock serious tax advantages without living inside an Airbnb turnover. In Part 3 of our Real Estate Series, Mike and Kevin break down how long-term rentals build wealth and legally cut taxes.

What you’ll learn

  • Long-term rentals vs. short-term: cash flow, workload, and tax treatment

  • Passive vs. active income rules, and why that matters for your W-2

  • The truth about Real Estate Professional (REP) status

  • Material participation for long-term rentals and when the grouping election helps (or hurts)

  • Why “good debt” + depreciation can accelerate returns

  • Real client wins (cost seg, losses, and dropping effective tax rates)

  • Lifestyle benefits (own near family, travel to “inspect,” and still keep it a legit business)
