Successful Multifamily Real Estate Investor Rob Rowsell outlines his Tax Reduction Strategy. The tax reduction program consists of four strategies business investors like you use to reduce their tax expenses. Remember, reducing your taxes IS a source of additional earned income!

Tax Reduction StrategyTax Reduction Strategy For Successful Investors Outlined

Rob has spoken previously on how much of a wealth drain that tax drag can be. Some listeners request that he expand on his tax reduction strategy. It boils down to four principles:

  1. Structure Over Deduction: Finding tax deductions in your records is important. However, making sure your business is properly structured is more so. Setting up your business as an LLC ensures not just legal protections. It also sets up the advantage of tax treatment. Make sure you hire a CPA and business consultant to help you properly structure your business.
    1. Pay yourself tax efficiently. A good accountant will advise you to pay yourself a conservative salary as a safe harbor against audits.
    2. Plan your exit before entering into any project. Knowing the end game before you structure your business will save you time and money in the long run. Restructuring can be a real hassle.
  2. Invest Your Money Tax Efficiently.
    1. Savvy tax planning is the absolute lowest risk way to quickly boost your investment returns.
    2. Invest your money in the right places. Generally, long term capital growth investments go into taxable accounts. “Ordinary income” cash flow investments should be deposited into tax advantaged accounts. These accounts may include retirement accounts such as Roth IRAs.
    3. Leverage unrealized gains to compound tax free. This means using equity in your business to acquire needed tools and even add a second location.
  3. Pay with PRE-Tax Dollars.
    1. Push every legitimate business expense to your business. This way, you will get an automatic discount every time!
  4. Plan BEFORE You Play.
    1. Plan the tax impact before you make any big business decision.
    2. Meet regularly with your CPA. Keep them in the loop on your plans as soon as you possibly can.

When is it okay for you to borrow from emergency fund savings? In short, Rob’s security bucket is in a high interest liquid account, which does not penalize him for making withdrawals. Sometimes, he will borrow small amounts from the fund for short term, small return investments. Of course, his wife Claudia approves each investment opportunity. She usually knows the other principals involved.

Short Term Financial Investments - Borrow From Emergency FundBorrow From Emergency Fund For Short Term Investments

During our Inner Circle Community Q&A Time, Joe asked Rob to clarify a facet of his security bucket strategy. Does he invest in a traditional bank for the advantage of liquid cash that is easy to withdraw?

Rob’s answer is yes. He likes the advantage of being able to borrow from emergency fund if needed. Rob invests in high interest accounts, eschewing low return options like CDs that also penalize withdrawals.

Occasionally, Rob will withdraw a small amount for short term financial investments. He only will do this if it is a safe investment with a high return. His wife Claudia also has a say in these money plays. Usually, she has met the folks involved in the investment and can vouch for their character. Soon enough, the cash will return to the emergency fund, with a little interest!

Rob Rowsell is a successful multifamily real estate investor. He didn’t earn wealth by focusing on the wrong priorities. Here’s Rob’s Investor Report Card. If you’re not prioritizing your goals in the right order, you won’t live a fulfilled life. Prioritize your Walk with the Lord FIRST, then your Health, your Relationships, your Personal Development, and THEN your Wealth. Review this report card honestly every month. If you didn’t get straight A’s this month, no worries. This list will show you what you need to do to improve next month.

Investor Report Card Investor Report Card – It’s Not Just About Money

One of Rob’s mentors, Robert Kiyosaki, often mentions an investor report card strictly in the financial sense. However, this report card takes a more holistic approach, examining Rob’s six pillars, in order of importance:

  1. Walk With The Lord: None of our endeavors as believers will truly succeed without putting them where they belong: under God’s Lordship. We exist to serve Him, and He will bless our efforts if we trust in Him.
  2. Health: Our bodies are temples to God. If we don’t exercise, eat healthy food, and get enough rest, we won’t be around as long as we could to honor God.
  3. Relationships: Healthy relationships with ourselves and our families, friends, and neighbors come first. When we treat those that we see the most right, then treating business associates will come naturally.
  4. Personal Development: Regular study will help you become the best version of yourself. This includes reading the right books to increase your financial IQ.
  5. Wealth: When you put in the work on Investor Report Card subjects 1-4, #5 will come to you naturally. Financial freedom in Rob’s world means reaching deca-millionaire or even hecto-millionaire status. Healthcare advancements mean longer lives. Gone are the days of seven figures translating to a comfortable retirement.
  6. Contribution: Giving back means sharing your overall wealth with others. That means the Time, Talent, Treasure, and Testimony that your efforts have earned you.
