"We just built an $18.5M apartment complex in Dallas. In [--] years we will sell it. The federal tax bill will be $0. Even better: The IRS will permanently forgive $5M in tax deductions we took along the way. This is the single most powerful deal the IRS can offer a real estate investor without dying. Here is how we did it. The strategy is called Opportunity Zone investing. It sounds complex. It is not. You follow three steps: Take a capital gain (from stocks a business sale or crypto). Invest that gain into a designated Opportunity Zone. Improve the property. If you follow the rules and hold"

"The "1031 Treadmill" is a wealth killer. 85% of investors eventually pay the tax anyway. They just do it decades later often when they need liquidity most. Divorce. Partnership disputes. Medical bills. A market crash. Life doesn't care about your deferral strategy. Stop lighting equity on fire just to defer a bill. The Panic Buy Look at the image. ID period expiring. Narrow criteria. To be clear this broker is doing exactly what he should be doing. Hes working every angle to find his client a deal. Thats the job. But the situation itself is the problem. This isnt investing. It is panic"

"Sometimes. Depends on the structure. In all of our funds yes. We structure as LLCs so investors get their pro-rata share of depreciation. In a REIT structure depreciation does not pass through. This matters more than most people realize in an OZ context. OBBBA restored 100% bonus depreciation. Combined with cost segregation investors in a ground-up multifamily QOF can receive significant depreciation. That depreciation offsets other passive income on your return immediately. In a normal real estate deal depreciation gets recaptured when you sell. The IRS claws it back at 25%. In a QOF held"

"Small loans are a headache to process. One $50M loan is easier than twenty $2.5M loans. Similar revenue fraction of the work. Eliminate the small loan overhead and you free up capacity to chase bigger deals. I have no inside intel. But the incentives point in one direction. Who benefits Institutional players. The compliance costs that kill a $2M deal are a rounding error on a $50M deal. Who loses Local owners. And renters because institutional owners optimize differently than local operators. Does it help housing No. The SBL program was already 95% affordable. Breaking it doesnt create more"

"Most individual investors think Opportunity Zones require a massive once-in-a-lifetime windfall. They are wrong. This mistake creates a massive tax leak in your portfolio every single year. The misconception persists because of how OZs are marketed. While you overlook the tool tax leakage compounds. Every time you trim a winner the IRS takes a cut before you can reinvest.

"One college lecture changed how I see cities forever. As a student in the SMU Real Estate Club I heard a talk from local real estate pro Mike Ablon (who would later run for Mayor of Dallas).

At the time it was a crummy overlooked industrial pocket. But Ablon saw a different future. His secret weapon wasn't just gut instinct. It was a tool he called a "topographic income map." The concept is brilliantly simple."

"We just built an $18.5M apartment complex in Dallas. In [--] years we will sell it. The federal tax bill will be $0. Even better: The IRS will permanently forgive $5M in tax deductions we took along the way. This is the single most powerful deal the IRS can offer a real estate investor without dying.

Invest that gain into a designated Opportunity Zone. Improve the property. If you follow the rules and hold"

"Sometimes. Depends on the structure. In all of our funds yes. We structure as LLCs so investors get their pro-rata share of depreciation. In a REIT structure depreciation does not pass through. This matters more than most people realize in an OZ context. OBBBA restored 100% bonus depreciation. Combined with cost segregation investors in a ground-up multifamily QOF can receive significant depreciation. That depreciation offsets other passive income on your return immediately. In a normal real estate deal depreciation gets recaptured when you sell. The IRS claws it back at 25%. In a QOF held"

"Most individual investors think Opportunity Zones require a massive once-in-a-lifetime windfall. They are wrong. This mistake creates a massive tax leak in your portfolio every single year. The misconception persists because of how OZs are marketed. While you overlook the tool tax leakage compounds. Every time you trim a winner the IRS takes a cut before you can reinvest. You fight a headwind of lost capital. If you have a few million invested in the stock market you cannot afford to ignore this. Any realized capital gain qualifies for a Qualified Opportunity Fund (QOF). This includes Nvidia"

"NIMBYs claim new development ruins city infrastructure. The truth Developers pay to rebuild it. Most people see a construction fence and fear traffic. They do not see the million-dollar invoice for "off-site infrastructure" the developer will receive shortly after the building permit is issued. When a builder starts a project the city puts them through the gauntlet. Engineers study sewer capacity water pressure and road congestion. If the project adds strain to the system the city demands an upgrade. The developer does not pass this bill to the taxpayer. They pay for it out of pocket before"

"I dont talk about this publicly enough. For the past decade weve quietly owned a construction company that builds and renovates apartments across Texas. While most people were plugging $5K/unit on turns into a spreadsheet we were the ones actually doing the turns. Weve self-performed 40+ projects across thousands of units we ownedand plenty more for third-party clients. Today our crews are on two ground-up projects we own. But for the first time in [--] years none of our renovation work is tied to our own deals. Translation: weve got an elite battle-tested team ready to go. Were owners first."

"One map changed how I think about real estate. It shows where cities may grow next. Its called a topographic income map. It turns income into mountains and valleys. In [----] I was an undergrad at SMU when Mike Ablon from Lionstone Group came to speak. He had just bought property in Dallas Design District a quiet industrial zone most investors ignored. On his map the Design District sat in a valley beside Uptowns peak. Ablon believed the city would build a bridge between them. He was right. Soon the city added a new exit to the Dallas Tollway. That one connection made the area valuable"

"We raised $8M from investors. Borrowed $10.5M from a local bank. Built [--] apartments in Bishop Ridge Dallas. Total project cost: $18.5M. Now that the building is complete our investors are projected to receive about $5M in bonus depreciation. This is a "paper loss" equal to roughly 65% of their initial investment. That paper loss can be used to offset $5M of their other income significantly reducing their tax bill today. Heres how it works. Normally a building is depreciated slowly over [----] years. But with something called a Cost Segregation Study basically an engineering analysis that"

"Texas didn't steal Coinbase. Texas passed laws that won them over. People are reacting to the headline: Coinbase is leaving Delaware and reincorporating in Texas. That's big news. But the more interesting story is why this happened. This year Texas made major changes to its corporate laws. These changes make it easier for public companies to operate here. They make Texas more predictable and more business friendly than ever. For decades Delaware has been the place where almost every big public company chose to incorporate. Not because they do business there but because Delaware's legal system"

"I run a company that has hundreds of millions of dollars of real estate in Dallas. When the Mayor speaks I listen. Cities rarely announce their next decade of growth in one speech. Dallas just did. Here is what I heard in todays State of the City address: Dallas wants to become the next great American city. The plan is simple: grow the tax base. Dallas may want a lower property tax rate. But it also needs more property to tax. More apartments. More offices. More businesses. The city knows this. Faster permits. Clearer rules. Make it easier to build. Growth pays for everything. Wall Street is"
