From Builder to Investor

[Shaza Atassi]

We’re an experienced builder and general contractor team taking our first steps into real estate investing. After years of managing renovations and new builds for clients, we’re excited to start creating and holding our own projects.

We know there’s so much to learn on this side of the business, and we’d love to hear from others who started as builders and made the jump into investing — what worked for you, what didn’t, and any lessons you’d share.

Looking forward to connecting, learning, and maybe even collaborating with some of you along the way!

You guys will kill it. if you play your card right, you should be able to not pay any taxes.

It’s important to understand taxes when you start real estate investing. Consider different tax structures for your investment projects.

• - Do not hold properties in the same entities that you were doing non-passive active income.
• - You probably already qualify as REPS. Depreciation lets you deduct the cost of the building over time, which can reduce your taxable income.
• - This should be the single best tax savings knowledge you need to be comfortable with.
