Online Masterclass: Tax Fundamentals for Real Estate Investors
Online Meeting, -, New Jersey, nj, USSaturday, December 13, 9:00 AM–3:00 PM Eastern ONLINE
Tax Fundamentals for New Investors
with Scott Ellsworth, CPA
FREE for Members!
No one gets into real estate thinking, “Boy, I hope I get to spend a lot of time thinking about TAXES…”
But when you’re flipping or renting properties, the taxes are just DIFFERENT than what you’re used to, if you’re used to having a job.
And if you don’t know what’s taxed, what’s deductible, what records to keep—or how different deal types get treated—you’ll end up making costly mistakes and missing easy opportunities to keep more of what you earn.
So yeah, it’s important. And this one-day online workshop is your chance to fix that.
CPA and experienced investor Scott Ellsworth will walk you through exactly what you need to understand now so you can:
- Understand what your investor friends are talking about when they say things like, “Aren’t you going to 1031 that?” and “You’re using componentized depreciation, right?”
- Feel confident about your deals at tax time—instead of confused or worried
- Avoid IRS red flags and costly screw-ups that new investors often make
- Keep more of your profits legally using smart structures and deductions
- Get your recordkeeping right from day one so you’re never scrambling
- Understand what your accountant should be doing (and what to ask for)
It’s the foundational tax knowledge every new investor needs—but most never get.
You’ll walk away with clarity, confidence, and a stronger bottom line.
The workshop will be recorded and all registrants will receive the recording, so register even if you can’t attend live.
And here’s the best part:
It’s FREE for all members
as our year-end gift to you for being awesome.
Not a member? It’s $97 for you—but why not join for just $25 and get this and all other monthly meetings included?
100% satisfaction guaranteed or your money back.
