Mortgage Monday-Bonus Depreciation is Back! | Episode 75

Summary With the successful passing of the Big Beautiful Bill, bonus depreciation is back. In this episode, David and Christian break down what it is, how you can take advantage of it, and how you can use money previously set aside for the government to cover the down payment on your next property. They cover accounting options, ways to use this strategy you may not have thought of, and how to combine it with CRE (covered in MM episode #69) to supercharge your wealth building and set yourself up for a retirement that doesn’t depend on social security.
