Episode 93: How to Accelerate Depreciation Deductions with Yonah Weiss
Show Notes

Looking to save some extra cash on your properties?


In this episode of The Real Estate Mindset podcast, Yonah Weiss and I chat about cost segregation. This is a tax strategy that allows real estate owners to utilize accelerated depreciation deductions to increase cash flow, and reduce the federal and state income taxes they pay on their income. Yonah goes through the ins and outs of how a real estate investor can gain from using this concept as well as the biggest misconceptions around it.


Yonah also shares what his morning routine is like, what his experience is with coaching, and why he believes that he’s successful in what he does today.
