Simple Tax Hacks, Huge Results!

October 29, 2025•2 min read

R. Kenner French opens by positioning tax planning as a core strategy for building real estate wealth — not a once-a-year chore. He stresses that many real estate entrepreneurs overpay because they either don’t use proper entities, don’t track their activity, or don’t plan proactively. He combines tax, finance and AI to help clients project tax exposure and work backwards to reduce liability ethically and legally.

He counts down ten “easy” tax hacks, starting with the right entity structure to optimize taxes and protection, and the powerful “real estate professional” status that lets high earners offset active income with real estate losses. Maximizing and accelerating depreciation is another core lever he emphasizes — it’s technical, but can materially reduce taxable income when handled correctly.

Kenner highlights income-shifting and family payroll as simple, effective moves, and promotes self-directed retirement plans for investing in real estate tax-deferred or tax-free. He also covers practical deductions many miss — business travel, due diligence trips, seminars — and the importance of clean, AI-powered bookkeeping to keep records tidy, reduce errors, and surface tax opportunities.

He explains the tax differences between flipping and long-term rentals, mentions installment-sale strategies to spread tax bills, and reminds listeners about everyday deductions like home-office and vehicle rules or Section 179. Above all, he pushes for a proactive, repeatable tax plan — set it early, review it quarterly, and stick to it to capture ongoing savings.

As a final bonus, French flags R&D tax credits as high-value, often-overlooked dollar-for-dollar savings, and closes by outlining paid offerings — a tax strategy roadmap, free AI bookkeeping for a year, access to the Vast Vault community, and coordinated asset-protection review with counsel — inviting listeners to visit for help.
