What Actually Triggers an IRS Audit on Rentals ft. Ana Klein
On this week's episode, Avery is joined by Ana Klein, CEO of Tax Boss, to break down how short term rental tax law can help high income earners significantly reduce their taxable income. Ana explains how strategies like cost segregation and bonus depreciation can create large paper losses that offset W2 income, while emphasizing that these benefits only work when paired with strong investments and long term planning. The conversation dives into common misconceptions, including year-one benefits, depreciation recapture, and why trying to game real estate professional status can backfire. They also highlight the importance of proper bookkeeping, time tracking for material participation, and working with qualified professionals to avoid costly IRS audits and mistakes.

The Asset Protection Hack That Stops Lawsuits Before They Start with Dohn Thornton
On this week’s episode, Avery is joined by Dohn Thornton, a seasoned real estate investor and short sale expert who has flipped over 3,000 properties and now focuses on advanced asset protection strategies.
