How do the wealthy pay less taxes?

They don’t do 1031 exchanges, that’s for sure!

They focus on having passive Income rather than ordinary Income.

When you are ordinary, that’s where you get taxed BIG TIME.

Take note: Passive Income = Real Estate Investing

Do you know why accredited investors leave the "landlord" investing behind?

Real estate syndication offers passive investment in more significant properties, diversification across markets and asset classes, access to professional expertise, and limited liability making it an appealing choice over turnkey rental for those seeking hands-off, diversified, and potentially higher-yielding real estate investments.

Why focus on investing in real estate as opposed to “more popular” investments rather than crypto, forex or stocks?

In this week’s podcast, we have the second chapter 2 of the Simple Passive Cash Flow book where we talk about real estate as a source of cashflow.

Real estate can provide genuine cash flow for investors because it generates income from rental payments or profits from the sale of properties.

When you purchase a rental property, you can generate rental income from tenants who pay you rent regularly. 

You can generate a positive cash flow as long as the rent covers the costs of maintaining the property, such as mortgage payments, property taxes, and repairs.

Moreover, real estate investments can appreciate over time, which means the property can increase in value and provide additional profit if you sell it. This combination of rental income and appreciation can make real estate a powerful investment vehicle for generating cash flow and building wealth.

Do you save and prepare for your medical expenses if the need arises?

Patients can save medical costs while still receiving necessary care by taking advantage of in-network primary care physicians, using high-deductible health plans, researching prescription drug prices, and opting for generic medications. 

You can also save money on routine medical care by using telemedicine or virtual visits, choosing urgent care or walk-in clinics instead of emergency rooms, and participating in workplace wellness programs. It is essential to regularly check medical bills for errors and overcharges and consider alternative therapies and community health clinics as well.
