Cost segregation expert Erik Oliver explains why this strategy now works for small rentals—and how 100% bonus depreciation changes the game.

In this episode of RealDealChat, Erik Oliver breaks down cost segregation in plain English and explains why it’s no longer just for massive commercial properties.

We cover how accelerated depreciation works, why bonus depreciation puts cost segregation “on steroids,” and how investors can unlock massive tax savings—even on single-family rentals. Erik also walks through common misconceptions, why most CPAs don’t offer cost segregation, how depreciation recapture really works, and when this strategy doesn’t make sense.

You’ll also hear how technology and AI are reducing study costs, what the process looks like step-by-step, and how investors can use cost segregation strategically to grow faster—without crossing IRS lines.

If you own real estate and pay taxes, this episode could change how you think about depreciation forever.

Jason Hull explains why bad property managers destroy returns—and why smart investors start with the manager, not the property.

In this episode of RealDealChat, Jason Hull, founder of DoorGrow and host of The DoorGrow Show, breaks down one of the most overlooked truths in real estate investing: property management—not the property—is the key to true passive income.

We unpack why so many investors struggle with micromanagement, misaligned incentives, and emotional decision-making—and how most property managers end up trapped in what Jason calls the “cycle of suck.” Jason explains how elite investors flip the script by finding a great property manager first, paying them well, and letting them protect the asset.

This conversation also dives into off-market deal flow through property managers, why DIY management stalls growth, how bad properties create bad tenants, and what technology and AI will (and won’t) replace in property management.

If you want real passive income—not a second job—this episode is required listening.

Franchise expert Adam Goldman explains how the right franchise can complement real estate investing, create deal flow, and unlock scalable systems.

In this episode of RealDealChat, Adam Goldman—former franchise owner turned franchise consultant—breaks down how franchising can work alongside real estate investing to create additional income, systems, and leverage.

Adam shares his journey from owning an office-cleaning franchise to placing hundreds of franchisees across dozens of industries. We discuss why SOPs and brand systems are often undervalued, how franchises can support real estate investors with capital and deal flow, and which business models are best suited for semi-absentee ownership.

We also explore real estate-adjacent franchises, service businesses that generate investor leads, and why understanding your personal strengths—and weaknesses—is critical when choosing a franchise.
