Taxes and insurance—the two things everyone says you can’t control in real estate. But what if that’s not totally true?

In this episode, Sam Morris and I flip the script on how smart asset management can actually influence these so-called “uncontrollables.” From understanding what insurance companies are really looking for to securing a 99-year tax abatement, I also share the kind of next-level thinking most operators completely overlook.

It’s not just about cutting reno costs or running the numbers—it's about seeing the whole board and making strategic moves that protect your bottom line long-term.

Watch the full episode to catch these golden nuggets from Sam Morris—you’ll never look at asset management the same way again.

looking for, how our propertiesare positioned, to mitigate a
lot of the risk that insurancecompanies is accepting, then we

The tax strategy, right wherethe taxes was eliminated for 99
years, which is an amazingbusiness strategy.

management, they look at how dowe, pay less for renovation and

inexperienced operator may notbe considering.
