Want to keep more of what you earn from real estate — legally?

Join us for an exclusive FIBI panel discussion, with Gabriel Velez, CPA of Tehrani & Velez and Elizabeth Burros of Gibraltar 1031 Exchange, to break down the most powerful tax strategies investors are using to significantly reduce their federal tax liability. Hosted by Anthony Walker of Buckingham Investments , this expert-led discussion is designed to show investors how real estate can function as one of the most effective tax shelters available today. Because who enjoys donating their income to the IRS?

What we’ll cover:

• How real estate investors legally reduce taxable income
• Bonus depreciation & how it can offset active and passive income
• Cost segregation studies — when they make sense (and when they don’t)
• 1031 exchanges and how investors use them to defer capital gains while scaling
• Common mistakes investors make that cost them thousands in unnecessary taxes

You’ll gain real-world insights and strategic takeaways you can apply immediately — whether you own your first property or are actively scaling a portfolio! If you’re serious about building wealth, protecting income, and paying less in taxes, this is a conversation you don’t want to miss.

Still waiting for rates to drop before you make your move?
You’re not alone — but what is that decision actually costing you?
Join us for our next FIBI discussion as Tommy Barro of Guild Mortgage and David Guevarra of Momenta Capital Group break down what’s really happening in today’s lending and investment landscape. This conversation will challenge the “wait and see” mindset and give you a data-driven perspective on timing the market vs. time in the market.
Because the biggest risk in real estate isn’t always buying at the wrong time — it’s doing nothing at all.

What we’ll cover:

• What’s actually happening with interest rates (and what experts are forecasting)

• The true cost of waiting: missed appreciation, equity growth, and rent increases

• How investors are structuring deals in today’s rate environment

• Creative financing strategies you may not be considering

• When it makes sense to move now — and when it doesn’t

If you’ve been sitting on capital, debating your next purchase, or waiting for the “perfect” moment, this is the conversation you need to hear. Markets shift. Opportunities don’t wait. The question is — will you?
