[Steven Bialecki]

Hey BiggerPockets Community! 👋 Excited to be part of such a great network of investors!

I’ve been working with real estate financials for a while, and I keep seeing one mistake that costs investors thousands: poor bookkeeping leading to missed tax deductions.

🚨 Common issues I see:

❌ Not properly tracking repairs vs. capital improvements

❌ Missing out on cost segregation & depreciation write-offs

❌ Scrambling at tax time instead of planning proactively
