Free Report: Tax Implications of Building a Duplex

By in Case Study, Free Resources

Folks, we are a biased group of people.

There you go, we said it.

What do we mean by that?

Well, if you have been listening to the past 300+ episodes, you would know that we lean towards passive investment more than active investment. Hence why we say we are bias.

But that does not mean we do not share helpful and educational tips on active investments! In fact, because we know we are no qualified experts in active investments or tax for that matter, we always get the best in the industry to help unpack the nitty-gritty.

And this time it’s no different!

In Episode 386 | BEWARE Tax Traps! How to rebuild or repair after a natural disaster, we asked Julia to enlighten us on what are the tax considerations when it comes to Building a Duplex. As usual, being the detailed-oriented professional that she is, Julia has also helped us create this downloadable to help our community understand this topic a little bit more.
