Reducing Tax Drag: Structure Over Deduction

 

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.

Security Bucket As Liquid Funds: Borrow From Emergency Fund?

 

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!
