Quotes:
At the front this conversation (taxes) isn’t exciting but when it comes to tax time and they have to cut a check for $20,000 less than they thought to Uncle Sam they get excited.
If you are going into flips and have some rental properties a lot of your liability can be covered by getting a simple umbrella policy.
Anyone going into business for themselves should be some form of entity (and not a sole proprietor).
You minimalize your chances of being audited by 3X by forming an S Corp (instead of being a sole proprietor).
A deduction isn’t anything without a receipt if you get audited.
