[@eduardoluissantos1359]

Hi Karlton, when you buy the property and if you plan to do remodelations, is it better to do the cost segregation first and then the remodelations? If you already did the remodelations and get the cost segregation after is that bad? I am thinking that if you do the cost segregation first you are getting the benefits twice because you can do it again after remodelations, is that correct?

[@floydchusset3143]

I've lived in America and Canada. Paid about the same in taxes but get way more for my taxes in Canada. Most Americans hate the government (hate giving them their money even more) because they've never experienced good governance.

[@majidcoper]

I honestly think America needs a completely restructure of their political system. It is just not working. Trump and Biden being elected out of 300 million people to run the country is evidence for that too.

Wealthy people do not "keep this information behind closed doors", the public school system does. Wealthy people actually are the ones that teach us this information.

[@the_luminary]

1000% !!!

[@jansah1]

I disagree. The information is published and shared openly in the tax code if you bother to read it for yourself rather than wait for someone to tell you. You are responsible for your own education. No one source can teach you everything you need to know to survive and thrive.

[@cameronpresley5771]

What if the information in this video is actually irrelevant to most? Most Americans shouldn’t be filing.

[@the_luminary]

@@cameronpresley5771 Hmm. So when do u say it is necessary to file?

[@adamfrausto9495]

If "I" am responsible for my own education then "I" should have been allowed to dictate what and when I learn. Since the public school system dictated what and when I learned then they should have at least explained the basics of the economy, money, & investment vehicles/strategies. Oh, not to mention how to even adult in general SMH.

This is why the US should elect more progressive politicians, who know how to manage budgets and give us (yes, pur country's initials literally spell out that pronoun) much better tax credits in return for better public education and better public healthcare. but since these are nonexistent, my husband and I are being guided to finance our retirement and healthcare through a diversified investment portfolio

I don't regret the numerous financial mistakes I've made in the past since I've learnt from them. But the biggest one was planning my finances without consulting with a licensed financial counsel.

[@hunter-bourke21]

The financial market is a reliable choice. Diversify your portfolio with I-bonds, stocks (ETFs, REITs, dividend-paying stocks), and bitcoin. Given your budget, I recommend hiring a fiduciary to ensure you receive professional insights for a fee.

[@maryHenokNft]

Indeed, I did make use of a financial counselor. As I get closer to retirement, their advice has been really helpful. I thought compound interest on index funds wouldn't be sufficient because I started late. It's amusing how I've done better than colleagues who have more years of investment experience. I've profited more than $886k tax free.

Real estate depreciation is a double edged sword. Down the road when you sell the property, you must pay capital gains on the depreciated value, not the sales price. It's a massive tax bill. I've been there.

[@AreYouFreeAreyouSure]

no, there is no Capital gains tax on American citizens. That would be an unapportioned direct tax in violation of Article 1, section 2 of the US Constitution. How in the world could the IRS even know about the sale of the house? The only way that I can think of that the IRS knows about the sale of your house is if 3rd parties involved in the sale of the house such as a Title company, Real Estate attorney, etc made the seller sign a W-9 along with a Taxpayer Identification Number such a a Social Security Number, and then the IRS received a 1099. Is that what happened in your case? Do you remember being asked to sign a W-9 form along with your SSN? There is absolutely no requirement for Americans to fill out a W-9 form, especially when selling their home. The federal government doesn't have any federal jurisdictionovern Americans selling their homes. Social Security Numbers are voluntary for Americans. Therefore, there is no way shape or form that the Federal Government can require Americans to provide a Taxpayer Identification Number such as a Social Security Number along with a federal government form such as a W-9 in order for an American citizen to sell their own property.

[@Larry-d1c]

@@AreYouFreeAreyouSure if the purchaser gets a mortgage, the mortgage company will require all of this.

[@AreYouFreeAreyouSure]

@@Larry-d1c just so I understand what you are saying (as I am not trying to argue or be confrontational with you, I just want to understand) are you saying that in your experience as a seller of your own property, the buyer's mortgage company demanded that you sign a W-9 with your Social Security Number?

[@Larry-d1c]

@@AreYouFreeAreyouSure yes. I had a mortgage also.

[@AreYouFreeAreyouSure]

@@Larry-d1c I see. Thanks for clarifying. The mortgage company is not following the law. If, and it's a big if, people understand the law when it comes to Social Security Numbers, they can avoid this situation of giving a SSN and signing a W-9 to a Mortgage/Title company. In fact, people have successfully sued 3rd parties like attorneys for holding up real estate transactions for refusing to close on a real estate transaction without the disclosure of a SSN/signing a W-9. The W-9 form is ONLY to be given by Withholding Agents. The full W-9 form is found here www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/fw9.pdf On page 5 of the form, it says Part 2: Certification: "To establish to the withholding agent that you are a U.S. person, or resident alien, sign Form W-9." Withholding Agents are defined in 26 United States Code, section 7701(a)(16) as "The term “withholding agent” means any person required to deduct and withhold any tax under the provisions of section 1441, 1442, 1443, or 1461." 1441 deals with Non Resident Aliens. 1442 and 1443 deals with Foreign Corporations and Foreign Tax-Exempt Organizations. 1461 makes the Withholding Agent liable for the withheld tax from 1441-3. Notice how United States Citizens are absent? Withholding Agents do NOT withholding income taxes from Americans! As you can see, throughout the W-9 form, is ONLY dealing with FOREIGN entities and FOREIGN Income! If you look at page 2, it's all about Foreign Income regarding Foreign Persons and Non Resident Aliens. And at the bottom of page 2, it refers to Establishing US status for purposes of Chapter 3 and 4 withholding. This is referring to Chapter 3 and 4 of Title 26 The Internal Revenue Code. This is a HUGE clue! What is Chapter 3 of Title 26? Chapter 3 is "Withholding of Tax on Non Resident Aliens and Foreign Corporations. What is Chapter 4? Chapter 4 is: Taxes to enforce reporting on certain foreign accounts. Clearly, this W-9 form is for FOREIGNERS and FOREIGN INCOME ONLY! This form has NOTHING to do with reporting the domestic income of American citizens! Anyone who is demanding an American to sign a W-9 to report their own income is ignorant of this form! And clearly, there is a LOT of ignorant American companies using this form! The ONLY time a US Citizen would use and sign a W-9 is if they are acting as an intermediary between a Withholding Agent and the Foreign Person to who the money is being paid to. A W-9 should NEVER be given by an American company to a United States Citizen to report the Americans income because the W-9 is ONLY for WITHHOLDING AGENTS and Withholding Agents NEVER withhold income taxes from Americans, but only Non Resident Aliens and Foreign Corporations/Organizations! If you want to learn more about this W-9 issue, this booklet provides a thorough explanation drreality.news/product/business-w9-handbook/ The next time you sell your property, you will have the knowledge to refuse to give your SSN or sign a W-9 and you can sell your property in privacy without 1099's being sent to the government! Selling private property is NOT the federal government's business!

I don't have a Social Security Number. My parents never applied for one for me and I never applied for one for myself. I have my own business. My clients pay me in cash. The way I undestand it is that I cannot fill out a 1040 tax return without a Social Security Number. Isn't it true that you must have a Social Security Number to fill out a 1040 tax return? I see the section for the SSN on the 1040. It just seems to me that I cannot fill out and complete the 1040 return without a SSN. What do you think?

This is a little misleading. It is very hard to be eligible to deduct your real estate losses against W-2 income. You need to be considered a real estate professional, which has a fairly high bar. Otherwise, any losses cannot be used to offset W-2 or 1099 income. Look up the passive activity loss rules. Do not go out and buy a rental property expecting it do this without talking to a qualified CPA.

[@ohiomaimoukhuede6640]

I'm not trying to rain on your parade but this is slightly misinformation or at least half truths. For example you can't take a deduction for business travel unless it's ordinary and necessary in your business so you will need to justify how you need to do it for your business (its probably less likely to be checked by the IRS but you can't just live your life through a business. That's just tax fraud). You also can't take a loss for rental business against other income unless you can prove it's active which means you pretty much have to do it for a living. I fear that some of your strategies can land people in hot water if they ever get audited and I understand that you are trying to sell a product but I would encourage people to speak with a reputable CPA to assess the risks before implementing these strategies.
