Quote from @Jake Hughes: Called my CPA and they mentioned that aside from tax write offs we can do a cost segregation study on one of my properties.

I recommend that you learn the tax code and take ownership over your strategy.Not having some foundational knowledge and an opinion on how to approach taxes as a business owner is a huge mistake.In my experience, every single business owner who says "I just let my CPA worry about it and I focus on my business" is doing a suboptimal job at tax planning.They are likely missing out on 10s or hundreds of thousands in saved dollars every year.Stop making excuses and get to work.Just a few months of part-time learning about taxes will pay you for the rest of your career.

Quote from @Drew Sygit: Was just doing a  search on Google and realized I'm on page 6 for the first time in "forever".Not sure if it's due to Google search being that good or lack of effort.When is the last time YOU clicked past first page search results?
