STR x BRRRRx CostSeg...Will This Work?!?

[Jonathan M Bojan]

Hey BPers,

I am designing a strategy for tax-deferred savings that builds current cashflow and could essentially function as an alternative retirement or FIRE strategy.

So...here's the strat in a nutshell:

1. Form an S Corp with 20 or fewer owners (some of whom are REP's)

2. Purchase STR's for cashflow

3. BRRRR large long-term rental units (4-plex and up, at least one per year with target ARV roughly equal to 20% of the additional gross income of the business that year)

4. Perform cost segregation on new properties to create tax offsets for new income

5. Tax offsets are distributed to investors against distributions and active income

6. Properties are held until the tax life is exhausted and then 1031 or CRT or Refi to further defer taxes

7. Leverage REP status to use other losses against capital gains in the liquid assets of the company (invested in EFT's, etc)

The policy for loss distribution would be:

-All must be active (preferably material) participants to get deductions; hence the 20 or fewer so relationships can be maintained

-Non-REP's can take up to $25k/y as PAL. The company allows them to take an amount roughly equal to their contribution assuming the company performance allows for it.

This should allow for tax-free profit less the deferred taxes on the cost segregation, and it would be accessible to anyone under 100k income. It would be a little hard to get out of, but not more difficult than a retirement account while providing more freedom and current tax and income benefits.

Shoot me down, please.

Thanks in advance,

Jonathan
