089. What Is Cost Segregation? [Accelerated Depreciation And How It Works]
One of the many reasons commercial real estate is so profitable is the ability to take advantage of depreciation. As buildings wear out over time, the IRS allows owners of investment properties to deduct a certain amount from their income every year before tax is applied as “depreciation expense”. Since this is an imaginary or paper expense, in that you’re not paying for it out of pocket, the more you claim in depreciation the more you can walk away with after taxes. Cost segregation is a common way of trying to maximize the amount of depreciation expense you can claim by speeding up the abstract decline in property value. Let’s take a look at how that plays out.

078. Lessons Learned From A $4.8 Million Cash Raise [Commercial Real Estate Development]
As you might expect, raising capital for commercial real estate isn’t all that easy. In fact, it’s my least favorite aspect of investing in commercial properties - I’d much rather stay in my lane and focus on deal sourcing and acquisitions, planning for and developing the project, and executing our ideas. However, capital is a finite resource and if you’re looking to grow your assets under management, you’ll need to throw that fuel on your fire and bring in outside capital from investors. I recently finalized a $4.8 million cash raise with my partners on a commercial development in Nashville. At 10x my largest capital raise to-date, this raise gave me some valuable insight to the entire process. So, here are my biggest takeaways.

So, here’s my guide to commercial real estate syndication for beginners.

And I get asked all the time: “How can I get into commercial real estate investing?” So, knowing what I know now, here’s what I would do if I had to start it all over.
075. Direct Mail for Finding Commercial Real Estate Deals [My Proven Method]
Finding commercial real estate investments can be one of the most frustrating parts of becoming an investor.
