In this special episode, Tim Mai sits down with tax strategist Jennifer Semien, CPA, to break down the powerful new tax advantages real estate investors can leverage immediately. From massive deductions on vehicles and equipment to changes in depreciation and cost segregation rules, Jennifer explains exactly how to structure your strategy to maximize write-offs, reduce taxable income, and stay compliant. If you invest in real estate and want to legally minimize your tax bill, this is a must-listen breakdown of the OBBBA—direct from the frontlines of tax law. 


5 Key Takeaways from Jennifer Semien’s Episode:

  1. Bonus Depreciation Is Back (And Bigger):
    The OBBBA reintroduces 100% bonus depreciation for certain asset classes—giving investors immediate write-offs.
  2. Vehicle and Equipment Deductions Expanded:
    Business-use trucks and machinery now qualify for larger deductions under the updated Section 179 limits.
  3. Cost Segregation Just Got More Powerful:
    The Act enhances the value of cost seg studies by accelerating more components into shorter life categories.
  4. OBBBA Applies Retroactively:
    Some provisions of the Act are retroactive, meaning investors can refile or amend to capture missed deductions.
  5. Real Estate Investors Must Act Fast:
    Jennifer emphasizes that timing and proper documentation are key to fully benefiting from OBBBA's provisions.
