Since rental losses are typically passive, the best way to offset W-2 income is through Real Estate Professional Status (REPS) (750+ hours) or Short-Term Rentals (STRs) (100+ hours and more time than anyone else managing the property), which allow real estate losses, including depreciation, to offset active income.A cost segregation study accelerates depreciation, generating large upfront deductions.

Here is the statement expanded to include formulas for doing one flip per year, two flips per year, five flips per year, and ten flips per year: One flip per year: If you start with $50,000 and do one flip per year, aiming for a 35 percent return, your progress would be: Year 1: $50,000 + (35% × $50,000) = $67,500 Year 2: $67,500 + (35% × $67,500) = $91,125 Year 3: $91,125 + (35% × $91,125) = $123,019Two flips per year: If you start with $50,000 and do two flips per year, aiming for a 35% return on each, your progress would be: Year 1: $50,000 + (0.7 × $50,000) = $85,000 Year 2: $85,000 + (0.7 × $85,000) = $144,500 Year 3: $144,500 + (0.7 × $144,500) = $245,650Five flips per year: If you start with $50,000 and do five flips per year, aiming for a 35% return on each, your progress would be: Year 1: $50,000 + (1.75 × $50,000) = $137,500 Year 2: $137,500 + (1.75 × $137,500) = $378,125 Year 3: $378,125 + (1.75 × $378,125) = $1,039,844Ten flips per year: If you start with $50,000 and do ten flips per year, aiming for a 35% return on each, your progress would be: Year 1: $50,000 + (3.5 × $50,000) = $225,000 Year 2: $225,000 + (3.5 × $225,000) = $787,500 Year 3: $787,500 + (3.5 × $787,500) = $2,756,250The key points remain the same, which is to aim for a high return through flipping, reinvest the profits to compound the gains, and be disciplined in order to build significant wealth over just a few years of this real estate investing strategy.
