In a brief interview, Speaker B reveals that they own a little over 200 multifamily units and a resort, generating $20,000 to $25,000 in monthly cash flow. Despite this substantial income, they report paying essentially zero taxes on it, attributing the result to tax‑saving tactics such as leveraging repair expenses, cost‑segregation studies, and bonus depreciation to offset active income.

How many properties do you own?
A little over 200 multifamily units and a resort.
How much does that cash flow?
That cash flow is $20,000 to $25,000 a month.
So, and how much do you pay in taxes for that?
On that income, I pay just about zero.
How is that possible?
When you repair properties, you put money into it. We run what's called a cost segregation study that allows us to take bonus depreciation, which is our reward for repairing the property, and it offsets our active income. No tax. That's in budget.
