Most real estate investors overpay the IRS every single year — not because they make too much money, but because they miss simple, legal moves they must take before December 31st. In this episode of The Wealth Planning Podcast, host Anthony Brister walks you through the 7 year-end tax strategies every real estate investor needs, whether you own short-term rentals, long-term rentals, or you’re just getting started. These moves can save you $10K, $20K, $50K, or more depending on your portfolio. I’m also giving you my Year-End Real Estate Tax Checklist and a free Bonus Depreciation Guide that explains everything in plain English. Don’t wait until January — by then, most tax planning opportunities are gone.   Timestamps 00:00 – Why most investors overpay taxes 00:36 – The 7 year-end moves that protect your money 01:13 – Move #1: Put your property in service before Dec 31 02:14 – Move #2: Prepay & accelerate expenses 03:00 – Move #3: Clean up your books 03:51 – Move #4: Confirm STR material participation 04:44 – Move #5: When to do (or delay) a cost segregation study 05:29 – Move #6: Review your entity structure 06:23 – Move #7: Schedule a year-end tax strategy meeting 07:15 – Why Dec 31 is a tax deadline, not just a date 07:44 – Free downloads + next steps for investors 08:04 – Final reminder: Take action now   Book your comprehensive tax & legal consultation at BristerTaxLaw.com.   Book a 15-Minute Discovery Call with Our Team: https://calendly.com/admin-jhf8/15min   Whether you’re facing a legal challenge or need guidance with tax and estate planning, we’re here to help.   Visit Our Website for More Information: https://www.bristertaxlaw.com/   Get to Know Our Team: https://www.bristertaxlaw.com/our-team   Follow Us for Legal Tips and Updates: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/the-brister-law-firm-pllc/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/bristerlawfirm/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100090662891712   #RealEstateTaxes #RealEstateInvesting #TaxStrategy #YearEndTaxPlanning #BonusDepreciation #ShortTermRental #STRInvesting #LongTermRental #RealEstateCPA #TaxSavings
