And look, we need to talk about your taxes because if you are a W-2 earner or a small business

owner, you are being played for a fool. The government has created a legal, ethical, and on a

system for you to pay zero taxes. It's not hidden. It's right there in the tax code, but no one ever told you the rules.

This creates two contradictions

that are absolutely insane.

First, how can someone buy a $1 million property

with $35,000 down and immediately get a $250,000

ride off that wipes out their entire W-2 salary. And second, how is it

that the rich can buy a $15 million private jet and actually make money on the deal while

you're scrambling just to deduct your $300 home office? It's like we're all playing

monopoly. But the wealthy were secretly given a

get out of taxes free card. And my guest today is here to tell you how you can get one too.

This is the epic real estate podcast. Contrarian takes on money, housing, and policy without

the guru nonsense. Let's go, let's go, let's go, Let's go. Let's go. Let's go. Our guest today is the co-founder and COO of the CPA dude, a full-service tax strategy firm dedicated to helping real estate investors and business owners keep more of what they earn. So please help me. Welcome to the show, Mr. Tony Hume. Tony, welcome to the epic real estate investing show. So, Matt, thanks for having us here, Day, man. So I guess congratulations for an order. You're headlining a tax strategy summit as the keynote speaker this week. Is that right? Yeah, we got it this Saturday right here. So big, beautiful bill updates and is dropping tax bombs all day. Super. Where are you from? Here's San Francisco. You're in San Francisco. Okay.

Got it.

Yeah.

So all in the pre area.

Let's just dive in. Tell me about the big beautiful bill. What do we need to know? Yeah, big beautiful bill. This was, man, this was the fireworks from July 4th here that they signed out. So it passed on July 4th. And the big thing that came in here for real estate investors, if they haven't been sleeping on a rock, is bonus depreciation.

100% is back now. If it didn't, it was going to be stuck at 40%. So we're talking about the extra 60% benefit now. So now it's 100% back. So it's going to be, it's permanent too. It wasn't going to be a phase down like it was going down 20% every single year. So now it's 100%.

So right now it's time to buy, you know, right? And it's like, hey, it's actually prime time about quarter left. So get that in and bonus depreciation applies even if you don't buy the, you buy the asset at the end of the year. And, you know, for those users that don't know bonus depreciation. Yeah, it's something like I'm 12. Yeah, this is the ninth world wonder of the world, I'd say.

You know, what compound this is the ninth world wonder of the world, I'd say.

You know, they're right. You know, what compound interest is the eighth. This one's the ninth. Can't see, feel, touch it, but this is how the rich don't pay tax. And what it is is that the government gives you a fat right off even though you don't pay for it. So let's let's say you have down payment by a million dollar home FHA at $35,000 down.
