Gary Pinkerton kicks off today's show discussing how he's starting to use Jason Hartman's "Refi til ya die" strategy with his rental properties. While he's already refinanced his primary residence, he just now reached the point where it makes sense to do it with his investment properties. Gary gives some of the numbers that are involved in his transaction and some of the key things he's learned in the process.

Then Jason takes over and discusses how the process works on a larger scale, and why it's a good idea. The "Refi Til Ya Die" strategy make sound like some cheap trick, it's actually a critical strategy that allows you to multiply your wealth over the long-term. This strategy allows you to re-invest the amount of your loan that's over the original purchase price and do it TAX FREE!

The journey of 1,000 miles begins with a single step, but it has to be in the right direction. Gary Pinkerton and Jason Hartman bring you an episode dedicated to making sure you research properties properly before investing in them.

Gary starts off the episode explaining how there have been times where he's jumped in to an investment without doing his due diligence, and has gotten burned doing it. That's why it's so important to look at property pro formas with a critical eye and making sure all the assumptions are what they should be. He also gives a reminder that you HAVE to keep score properly or you might end up making the wrong decision regardless.

Then Jason takes over and explains how you need to read a pro forma, including what things need to be on there that aren't always, and what assumptions are reasonable. There are many things that can be left off that can make investments look prettier than they are, so make sure you aren't duped.

Gary Pinkerton starts off the show talking about one of the powerful things about real estate investing, depreciation. The tax reform of 2017 has changed the game for real estate investors and their tax returns, thanks to changes to things like depreciation.

Then, Jason Hartman talks to Mike Murphy of Murphy, Murphy, & Murphy about a topic that is near, dear, and feared by property investors – real estate taxes.

There’s an old saying, “Nothing is certain but death and taxes.” Taxes are a fact of life. Although the prospect of dealing with taxes is not especially appealing, Jason has been extolling the tax benefits associated with rental real estate for years. As America’s most tax-favored asset, it can put money back in your pocket (or keep it from ever leaving in the first place) better than anything else.

An important point Murphy makes early is that an investment property is broken down into two components: land and the structures on the land. While the cost of the land itself isn’t tax deductible, the structure is, which means the residential building you buy in order to rent out to a tenant. Tax breaks flow from the structure, and here are several you need to understand as an investor.
