Still feeling the sting of tax season? This episode might save you thousands next year.

In this episode of The House of Ravenscroft, I’m unpacking powerful real estate tax strategies that most people—and even their CPAs—don’t know exist.

I’ll cover:

  • Overlooked deductions for homeowners (yes, even mortgage interest strategy)

  • Why rental properties can be tax shelters (with deductions like travel, repairs, and management fees)

  • How depreciation creates "paper losses" that reduce taxable income

  • 1031 exchanges and cost segregation to delay or eliminate capital gains

  • The power of Real Estate Professional Status (REP) to offset W2 or commission income

  • A real story from my own rental portfolio that erased an $82,000 tax bill

If you’re a homeowner, landlord, real estate agent, or just trying to build smarter wealth—this episode is for you.
